Unique and refreshing change of the religious thriller
genre.
In The Beginning is firmly embedded in the Dan Brown, James
Rollins, Tom Knox arena; a book dealing with a secret history, missing Dead Sea
Scrolls, and the very origins of mankind. But unlike those other authors, Abby
Vandiver has taken a different path. Rather than having her protagonists
fighting off peril at every turn, she has engineered a plot revolving around
strong family bonds, the versatility families can bring to problems and above
all, resilience in the face of ridicule.
A refreshing change of pace in a crowded market place and all
the better for it.
The writing’s tight
and crisp, and the characters are believable. That said, I would have preferred
a firmer grasp of science in the parts where science was used to bolster the
plot. That aside, In The Beginning is a good read
for those hot summer days.Available at Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk
