The book starts with Spring 1086 and the writing of the Domesday Book. The next chapter is at the Vatican in the current day and the book stays in current times for the rest of the story. This part starts with violence and dead bodies.
This is a Sigma story and, as such, there is a lot of action on more than one front. Gray is in Europe and Painter is off to Finland. The story bounces from one place to the other and lots of action. Rollins writes in a pretty cinematic way, I can see this made into a movie. It's a bit hard to keep track of whether its Painter or Gray in danger sometimes, I think it would be easier if I had a good picture in my mind about what these two characters look like!
The story ends with a bit of fantastic storytelling but then Rollins ends the story with this Author's Note to Readers "Everything in this book is true, except for what's not. I thought I'd end this adventure by splitting those hairs." When he does, it is amazing what is true. This author does some amazing research and he's so good at finding good storylines in what's happening in this world.
