http://pro-libertate.net/20150723/271-read-map-bones (  ) davdittrich | Feb 14, 2023 |  A romping good read, reminiscent of a cross between GI Joe and Indiana Jones. The well researched writing takes a bit of suspension of disbelief but ultimately it takes you on a thrilling journey that is thoroughly entertaining. ( ) cuteseal | Aug 17, 2022 | Read this on the recommendation of someone who said she thought this book was better than The Da Vinci Code. I would disagree. It was too long. There were far more intermediate "stops" and puzzles than in The Da Vinci Code. And I got really tired of hearing the character "Vigor" explain all the historical background needed at every stage of the game. The villain was a caricature sadist. There were too many groups "competing" with each other to keep them straight. And the science wasn't remotely believable. (  ) MarkLacy | May 29, 2022 | James Rollins is truly one of our best contemporary fiction writers. Map of Bones is a twisted, mysterious journey through the origin of the Catholic Church and a fantastic theory of the historical remains of the Library of Alexandria. Meticulously researched, spread across multiple continents and populated by strong female characters, both evil and good, this story literally drives the reader faster and faster towards a totally unexpected end.

Izuzetan spoj akcije, avanture i religijsko-okultnog trilera, intelektualno provokativan i uzbudljiv U jednoj od najpoznatijih katedrala u Nemačkoj, na misteriozan način pobijeni su svi koji su prisustvovali ponoćnoj misi. Iz crkve je odneto neprocenjivo blago – mošti tri biblijska kralja koji su darivali Hrista, legendarna tri mudraca. Komandant Grej Pirs, novi član odeljenja Sigma, predvodi tim agenata u potrazi za Imperijalnim redom zmaja, tajnim društvom aristokrata čiji su koreni negde u tami srednjeg veka, a cilj im je da, uz pomoć mističnih kostiju, stvore novi svetski poredak. Lavirint tragova ostavljenih u davnoj prošlosti vodi agente Sigme kroz evropske gotske katedrale, preko ostataka sedam čuda Starog sveta do magičnih mesta na kojima su nauka i religija sjedinjeni i predstavljaju pretnju kakva nije viđena od početka vremena. „Mapa kostiju, roman o starom tajnom društu i potrazi za neprocenjivim antikvitetom, sigurno se može porediti sa Den Braunovim Da Vinčijevim kodom, ali je, u svakom pogledu, mnogo bolja knjiga. Tamo gde je Braunov bestseler predvidiv uprkos dobroj postavci, ova priča je mudro vođena i napeta.“ Buklist „Rolins je jedan od najinventivnijih savremenih pripovedača.“ Izuzetan spoj akcije, avanture i religijsko-okultnog trilera, intelektualno provokativan i uzbudljiv U jednoj od najpoznatijih katedrala u Nemačkoj, na misteriozan način pobijeni su svi koji su prisustvovali ponoćnoj misi.
