The Alexandria Link By Steve Berry

I always look forward to this creative and prolific author. His novels are well researched and dripping with intrigue. For centuries, guardians have held and passed on the secret location of the "Library of Alexandria". Each generation, one of the guardians tries to find a person who seeks knowledge and who will use any knowledge he gains from the library to do good for humanity. A cartel of wealthy individuals are looking for the knowledge that will give them control of the middle East and also challenge the three major religions. The information and the documentation is located in the library; there is a race between the good guys and the bad ones to find the library. Good characters some nice puzzles and a great adventure. Also, an interesting idea of the actual location of the Israel of the old testament and some major tinkering of the gospels by the early church leaders.

Steve Berry, Author

Steve Berry is an interesting author; he writes what I call "historical mystery puzzle quests". He is well traveled and does excellent research; he mixes history, fiction and his own invention into great adventures.

"The Amber Room"

An 11 foot square hall walled in Amber; a present from Prussia to Peter the Great in Russia. It disappeared in 1941. A treasure of a treasure hunt and a real thriller; moves fast and was well researched.

"The Romanov Prophecy"

Mystery and history. Can or should Russia return to a monarchy? Is there a living descendant of Nicholas 2nd ? Well written and researched. Intrigue....

""The Third Secret"

The Lady of Fatima passed on a message to three peasant girls that contained three secrets, the third of which was supposed to have considerable bearing on church doctrine and it was suppressed. The novel searches for the third secret.

"The Alexandria Link"

Over the centuries, the guardians of the secrets and the location of the Library of Alexandria have chosen a successor to hold the secrets. Various people are given esoteric clues and are severely tested as they attempt to prove their worth and find the fabled library.

Berry puts together some thought provoking tales. I am surprised that he is not as well known as Dan Brown, he should be.
