review 1: Based in Iraq during the 2003 War a U.S. Army Chaplain becomes embroiled in the chase to obtain The Sword which could lead it's owner to wealth, power and the untold knowledge of the ancients. This is a well told romp through Iraq's known and not so well known history and landscape during the War on an Indian Jones type journey to obtain the ancient artifacts that will possibly lead to the doorway to The Garden of Eden.
review 2: So a U.S. Army chaplain is kidnapped by a mysterious stranger in Iraq and goes on a deadly adventure to find the Garden of Eden. Now I remember why I don't like to read fiction. It's too tempting for me to argue with the author about how realistic or improbable the events of the story are. I was bored and ready to drop the book for ... moreabout the first 200 pages. Finally it started to get interesting and I felt committed to see it through to the end. While it was mostly okay, I was dissapointed that a lot of things still were not resolved by the end (it is a series though, so maybe the next book makes up for it). The author's attempts at witty dialogue often seemed out of place with the actual events of the story. The mysterious stranger was a little TOO mysterious. But there was some good action, and an interesting intertwining of characters. So while not exactly my cup of tea, other people (who actually enjoy fiction) may like it. I do however think it would make a good movie- not a great movie- but a good one. I think the events of the story would play out better on screen than they did in print. less
