3 Goodreads in a box setHaving read the latest book first found these. A continuous theme through the 3 books a bit different from the usual books ifvthisvtype
You Need To Own This Boxed Set!What happens when an incredible author (Gary McAvoy) puts three of his best works of painstakingly researched historic fiction together into one boxed set, each novel beginning life from the cold, dark, depths of the Secret Vatican Archives where treasures, if discovered, will drastically catapult current Christian beliefs into oblivion, and where they have remained untouched for more than two thousand years, hidden centuries ago to protect the Church? The results
Well written partially historically true fiction. Very exciting!I thoroughly enjoyed all three of these well written and thought provoking books. The author is gifted at working historical fact into well written fiction. He makes you want to believe!
Exciting Series Gifted AuthorI wish I had the words to express how great Gary McAvoy's Magdalene Chronicles are! Fiction based on fact?? Or fact with a little fictin?? I have to compare it to the The Da Vinci Code for your reference on the amazing writing. I do NOT have any Christian problem with this series. I actually believe some things are true!Couldn't put it down. I highly recommend this series.
great series of three books!I enjoyed this three book chronicle. Hope to read more from G. McAvoy! Brings to life legends of MM into current times. Fun read!
If only...The stories of the relics were true, think how different history might have turned out. I enjoyed the three volumes in the series and look forward to more.
great storiesI loved the characters and the plots. The speed of the action is not always believable, but it’s fiction after all.
Wonderful seriesA page turner, each book in the series. Good mix if history, adventure, and conjecture. I strongly recommend this series.
Good storiesThis 3 book volume follows the Dan Brown tradition. We have a good priest, a bad cardinal, and of course, bad and good characters. All the stories are centered with Mary Magdalene and the outrageous theory that she married Jesus and had a child from him. The aim of all the stories is to get the artifacts before the bad guys get it. It gets the good guys into predicaments but they hope to prevail. I personally like books that have these themes but I do not like the priestly characters...
Absolutely loved this series. Gary McAvoy tells a great story. It is filled with action, history, mystery and a little romance that keeps the reader engrossed in the story. This final book focuses on acquiring the Veil of Veronica. The story goes from Rome to Switzerland, to Paris, to Germany, to Argentina. The story is fast paced and keeps you wanting more. This story will not disappoint! I enjoyed learning some interesting facts about the Nazi’s who settled in Argentina and the amount of docum...
Breathtaking!This one is my favorite in this set of books. Very satisfying ending ties up some loose ends, and the action had me on the edge of my seat. Well done!
These three books are the best books I have read in years. In fact, I am going to read them again, now! They are that good.
ENTERTAINING ALBEIT SUPERFICIALA fictional, historical religious suspense genre series of three titles, based on legendary artifacts attributed to the life and death of Jesus Christ. Indiana Jones with a clerical collar. Entertaining but clichéish and superficially appealing to the younger imagination of pulp fiction readers.
Interesting storyVery interesting story with great characters. Would recommend this series to anyone that is curious about how the Vatican works in a positive way.
Now the Veil of MagdaleneMcAvoy has put a fine cap on his relic trilogy. Polished with fine dialogue and the best plot of the trilogy McAvoy provides great characters and enough suspense to satisfy any reader. The reappearing characters are consistant, and those who appear for the first time are sufficiently evil and nefarious to believably return us to the horrors of World War II. Curl up with a good fire and The Magdalene Chronicles.
