Broken Dove (A James Acton Thriller, Book #3) (James Acton Thrillers) Kindle Edition
Amazon Price | New from | Used from |
*** FROM USA TODAY & MILLION COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR J. ROBERT KENNEDY ***
WILL A SECRET DESPERATELY HIDDEN FOR OVER ONE THOUSAND YEARS BY THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH FINALLY BE REVEALED?
When a priest is found beaten to death inside the Vatican, the new Pope doesn't know who he can trust, and calls in outside help. When they disappear, those sent to inform His Holiness find him missing as well, the only clue a secret chest presented to each new Pope on the eve of their election, since the beginning of the Church.
Archaeology Professors James Acton and Laura Palmer are called to Rome to examine the chest and its forbidden contents, but before they arrive, they are intercepted by an organization older than the Church, demanding the professors retrieve an item stolen in ancient Judea in exchange for the lives of their friends.
It is the most infamous kidnapping in history, set against the backdrop of a two-thousand-year-old battle pitting ancient foes with diametrically opposed agendas.
From USA Today and million copy bestselling author J. Robert Kennedy comes Broken Dove, another entry in the action-packed smash hit James Acton Thrillers series, where Kennedy reveals a secret concealed by the Church for almost 1200 years, and a fascinating interpretation of what the real reason behind the denials might be. If you enjoy fast-paced adventures in the style of Dan Brown, Clive Cussler, and James Rollins, then you’ll love this thrilling tale of archaeological intrigue.
Get Broken Dove today to discover the Church’s most shocking secret, and how far they’ll go to keep it.

The story is an adventure from beginning to end. It has many other elements though - romance, suspense, challenges and hope. It incorporates interesting theories which leave the reader wanting to know more about them.

It's pretty popular to pull religion into stories of intrigue. A lot of the time it goes stupid really quick. Kennedy does an above average job.

Good but a lot of ignorance re Catholic Church
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 22, 2016Verified Purchase
Great stories from this author, as long as you realise it IS FICTION! As a Catholic I'm fed up with people bashing my faith when they have NO CLUE as to the truth but regurgitate the same old misconceptions about Catholicism. If you realise what is said about the church isn't true then you can enjoy the story for what it is. I encourage the author and all those readers out there to read The Catechism of the Catholic Church to LEARN what we believe and teach, otherwise continue in your ignorance and continue to be anti Christian as all the rest. So I give 3 stars to these books, sadly.

Fantastic read!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 12, 2012Verified Purchase
Another great book in the James Acton series. I love that we've got to know the characters in the previous two books and now there is time to expand further on their individual quirks, mannerisms and humour. All this plus a thrill-a-minute story which kept me reading until I had finished the whole book. Real on the edge of your seat stuff and all of it described perfectly, providing a well rounded visual of the events taking place.
I'm really enjoying all of J. Robert Kennedy's books and I just wish he could write faster - can't wait for the next one!

Another good romp thru Acton's life a day at a time but the plot thins out in places with needless killing (border guards) with no remorse. Suddenly a plane has hidden areas and the timeline shrinks getting from Vermont to Rome to Turkey...maybe could have been 100 pages longer to flesh out the narrative a little. Looking forward to the next thro...

More Acton mayhem

Yet another well researched and well written book. If you get past the fact that this couple are facing death yet again and surely no two people are that unlucky it's a Damon good read and strangely believable
