The Exodus Quest outlines the story of the race between an archeologist and a group of evangelical Christians to find evidence of the Jewish exodus from Egypt. The hero of the story, Daniel Knox, endures attempts to kill him, framing for the murder of an Alexandrian archeologist and the kidnapping of his partner. In order to set things right he must solve the puzzle of the Pharoh Akhenaten.

This book has lots of suspense, lots of intrigue and a great storyline. My only complaint with it was the multitudes of Egyptian names. Yes, I know that the story takes place in Egypt, however, the author might have simplified things by not delving into the multiple names of each historical character. Perhaps if I were an egyptologist, I'd have been able to keep it straight. Having said that, I still very much enjoyed reading the book and would like to check out more by this author.

Once I've read a single book by an author, I tend to run through most/all of the author's works. "The Exodus Quest" was originally published under the title "The Moses Quest". I ordered both, not knowing that they were the same novel.

The previous reviewer summarised the plot well but please don't make the error that I did and order both "The Exodus Quest" and "The Moses Quest".

This was my first Will Adams book and I was quite disappointed. The story was way too predictable. Interesting concepts - albeit far fetched. I would not recommend this book even for reading at the Beach
