I know it is bad to do comparisons, but I am going to do it
anyway. The story tackles a new angle to
the Da Vinci – Tesla lore on the science behind weather manipulation. It is geeky-exciting in that regard. On top of that, Scriptural references to the
Ark of the Covenant is layered in, extending the line of Moses and the Levites
to the present day. It is archaeologically-curious
in this aspect. The pace is similar to
Dan Brown’s fiction, the international secret intelligence landscape is similar
to Ludlum’s global conspiracy web. The
action reminds me of JJ Abrams’ Alias and Spielberg’s Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Too much? It is a
matter of preference. Personally, I
enjoyed it. It was a fun and exciting
read that I highly recommend for a nice weekend.
