Review:

“A slick and suspenseful narrative. . . . Jacobovici is a maverick, a self-made Indiana Jones.” (Newsweek)

“Absolutely fascinating . . . many would argue the biggest story or one of the biggest stories of our lifetime.” (Today Show)

“This discovery is potentially the last nail in the coffin of biblical literalism” (John Dominic Crossan, author of God & Empire)
