About this ebook
This “true masterpiece” (Brad Thor) takes us to the deserts of Jordan on a deadly search for the Ark of the Covenant, the vessel that houses the Ten Commandment tablets.
After fifty years in hiding, the Nazi war criminal known as the Butcher of Spiegelgrund has finally been tracked down by Father Anthony Fowler, a CIA operative and a member of the Vatican’s secret service. He wants something from the Butcher—a candle covered in filigree gold that was stolen from a Jewish family many years before.
But it isn’t the gold Fowler is after. As Fowler holds a flame to the wax, the missing fragment of an ancient map that uncovers the location of the Ten Commandments given to Moses is revealed. Soon Fowler is involved in an expedition to Jordan set up by a reclusive billionaire. But there is a traitor in the group who has ties to terrorist organizations back in the United States, and who is patiently awaiting the moment to strike.
“Fraught with intrigue and plot twists galore” (Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author), The Moses Expedition is a thrilling read about a quest for power and the secrets of an ancient world.

I found this book a very enjoyable and easy read. Another quest in search of the Ark of The Covenant sounds a bit dull but the characters are interesting and will keep you turning the pages. The story begins during the horrors of the Second World War and along with the quest for the Ark leads to the current terrorist threat facing the world. This an interesting adventure and well worth the read.

This was a very entertaining and enjoyable read. The story was a bit far fetched but the characters were interesting enough to make the book worth reading.
