About this ebook

The hit international thriller from Eric Van Lustbader, the New York Times bestselling author of The Bourne Legacy

For centuries, a hidden splinter sect of the Franciscans has guarded secrets that could transform the world. Now the safety of those secrets—and much more—depends on one man.

Braverman “Bravo” Shaw always knew his father had secrets. But not until Dexter Shaw dies mysteriously does Bravo discover the enormity of his father's life as a high-ranking member of the Order of Gnostic Observatines. For more than eight hundred years, the Order has preserved an ancient cache of documents that could shake Christianity to its foundations.

But the rival Knights of St. Clement will stop at nothing to obtain the treasure, and now Bravo is a target and a pawn in an ongoing war far larger and more deadly than any he could have imagined.

From New York City to Washington, D.C., to Paris, to Venice, and beyond, the race is on for the quintessential prize...the Testament.

Ratings and reviews

The relationships among the characters are more entangled than day time soap opera. People are so stupid in this book. I've flipped pages and finallly decided to jump to the last chapter just to get this over with!

This author is great and all his books are very good. However, how can your blurb say that this is a "new international thriller" when this book was published in 2007, 10 years ago?

Great as usual
