This review is from: The Messianic Legacy (Mass Market Paperback)

After the great success the first book of this "saga" had, Baigent Leigh and Lincoln made another step further. Saunière and his mystery is the starting point for a very interesting exploration of the hidden face of history. Using the usual British approach for history, the result is a book sometimes hard to read and not so much flowing, especially compared to Lincoln's "Key to the Sacred Patterns".
The history of a man escaping his common known fate and founding his own dinasty; the telling of obscure plot at the shadow of the church and much more can be found here.
A great companion to two other interesting books, Starbird's "The Woman With the Alabaster Jar" and Patton and Mackness "Web of Gold", the three writers deserve a very high position among those who wrote about Rennes le Ch�teau and all the things it involves.

This book offers a rare insight into a much misunderstood religion. Even if you don't agree with what's written in this book,it will surely open your eyes to the possibility that christianity may have been tampered with.

"norabarnacle" (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Messianic Legacy (Mass Market Paperback)

Once you get past the hype and puffery of "Holy Blood Holy Grail" this series of books begins to seem quaint and ridiculous. The writing is unbearably earnest, and may frustrate the reader who is looking for a wild ride. People who already believe that the Freemasons run the world may appreciate it, though.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting reading ... but a false premise
As a sequel to the book "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" you might expect a little something different then what you get out of this book. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Read for Fans of Umberto Eco
When it comes to writing about history from 2000 years ago through the Dark Ages, a lot of speculation is necessary. Read more
