Editorial Review: Product Description: A bomb in Rome, a flash of bluish-white light, and photojournalist Josh Ryder's world exploded. From that instant nothing would ever be the same. As Josh recovers, his mind is increasingly invaded with thoughts that have the emotion, the intensity, the intimacy of memories. But they are not his memories. They are ancient . . . and violent. A battery of medical and psychological tests can't explain Josh's baffling symptoms. And the memories have an urgency he can't ignore -- pulling him to save a woman named Sabina . . . and the treasures she is protecting. But who is Sabina? Desperate for answers, Josh turns to the world-renowned Phoenix Foundation -- a research facility that scientifically documents cases of past life experiences. His findings there lead him to an archaeological dig and to Professor Gabriella Chase, who has discovered an ancient tomb -- a tomb with a powerful secret that threatens to merge the past with the present. Here, the dead call out to the living, and murders of the past become murders of the present. International bestselling author M.J. Rose offers a spellbinding, psychologically riveting epic thriller of secrets, history and murder that will challenge the way we think about who we are and who we were. Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - MehAs an easy beach-type read I liked the book. My main problem with it are occasional lectures about reincarnation, which is not something I really believe in. I think the believer may have a better time with this book as it would appear to be more approachable on that level, but as a guy looking for a thriller it fell short for me. Objectively I thought the story itself was written well. There were some plot twists which ,in hindsight, were telegraphed in advance, but I don't believe ...

There wasn't much to an ending. Rating: - Visual Pqage TurnerThis is just one of those books that sucks you in and doesn't let you go. The way Rose writes you think you're watching the whole story.I loved the characters- Josh/Julian especially and I'm fascinated by history so this really was up my alley. There are books that you read and forget... this wasn't one of those. I keep thinking about the end of the book - it didn't end the way I wanted it to but it had to end that way... it was really moving and somehow right. Loved it! Rating: - The absolute worst book I have ever readI pride myself on both finding books with plot lines and writing styles out of the norm, and finishing every book I pick up. Perhaps I should have spent a few moments idly flipping pages so I could get a feel for Ms. Roses's sense of prose, or in this case, the lack thereof. What could have been a thrilling page turner is about as animated as the corpse uncovered in the archaeological dig around which the plot takes shape. I ceased trying to make sense of the thing after 260 pages, halfway through the ... Read More Rating: - Not bad...But not great either. This novel is good enough to entertain during a long plane trip or one's daily commute and it does have its page-turning moments. On the other hand, the plot is predictable and the characters pedestrian. Short story -- If you need something to reduce boredom while you travel or wait in some doctor's office, this novel will do the trick, but it will probably not end up on anyone's "best of" list. Among its good points are that the historical details are interesting ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
