Synopsis

Tomás Noroña, profesor de Historia de la Universidad Nova de Lisboa y perito en criptología y lenguas antiguas, es contratado para descifrar una cifra misteriosa. Los conocimientos y la imaginación de Tomás lo llevarán a una espiral de intrigas, en dónde inesperadamente se topará que con un secreto guardado durante muchos siglos: la verdadera identidad de Cristóbal Colón. Basada en documentos históricos genuinos, El códice 632 nos transporta a un viaje por el tiempo, una aventura repleta de enigmas y mitos, secretos encubiertos y pistas misteriosas, falsas apariencias y hechos silenciados, un auténtico juego de espejos donde la ilusión se disfraza de realidad, para disimular la verdad. / Tomas Noroña, professor of history at the Nova University in Lisbon and skilled in cryptology and ancient languages, is hired to decipher a mysterious cipher.

Review

International Praise for Codex 632 (. )

“A fresh-thinking historical thriller buoyed by its hero, a man with a spinning moral compass trying to find his truth North.” (Kirkus Reviews )

“[A] relentless quest for the truth.” (Forward )

“Readers more intrigued by academic detection than global conspiracies should eat this one up. A fresh-thinking historical thriller buoyed by its hero, a man with a spinning moral compass trying to find his truth North. “ (A Folha de São Paulo, Brazil )

“A most newsworthy novel on Columbus ... Based on historical documents, it narrates the story of a clever expert cryptanalyst who unravels a conspiracy to keep the true identity of the great navigator forever hidden from history.” (Que Leer, Spain )

“It was supposed to be like The Da Vinci Code, but in fact it’s better and more interesting, as it presents readers with more proof than speculation. The historical part of the novel is amazing and accessible. Impressive.” (--Jornal do Brasil, Brazil )

“In the world of historical scholarship, the mystery surrounding the discoverer of America and his true roots remains unsolved. Codex 632 reminds us all of the historical investigation which has yet to be conducted.” (Adelaide Advertiser )
