Summary: Not nearly as good as the author's first book
Comment: This feedback based on the abridged audiobook version...
1) Joe Mantegna does a fairly good job of acting the story out. Decent voice impersonations and emotional inflections. He did seem to lack a bit energy in the reading but then again his handling of the long Italian names left me impressed. ;)
2) This story of the Catholic Church kept me confused because I thought I was reading an Italian Mafia story instead. Maybe that was the author's intentions but it just didn't connect well with me.
3) I agree with the other reviews that Thomas Kind is the most interesting character in the book. Definitely someone to fear. Good bad guy creation.
4) The whole casual sex reporter woman, then not seeing her again for a long part of the story...then her being a key person in the resolution of the story was a bit too far fetched for me.
5) Overall if you want to read Allan Folsom definitely read The Day After Tomorrow...this story can be skipped unless you have nothing else to do with your time.

Summary: wait a minute...
Comment: It started of good and went downhill, even after I finished it. Folsom's first book (DAT) was very entertaining and pretty muched wrapped all the plotlines together in the end. Tis is a similar story. Lone wolf american (with his team of justice do-ers) jumps about europe seeking the answers to a diabolical plan set in motion by a sect of power hungry evil folk. It is fun to read, a metric ton of adventure and action keeps you reading. But when it is finished you realize something is missing. Then you realize NOTHING WAS RESOLVED. Only two plotlines of this over layered novel comes to an end. Actually after finishing it you come to think that the bad guys won. Mr. Folsom kind of forgot to solve the complex plot that he created. for shame allen. for shame.
if you liked DAT read this but don't expect much. except a dissapointment at the end.
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent and fast-paced thriller
Comment: I originally bought this book out of nostalgia, because the story took place in places that I had visited in Italy.
I really wasn't expecting much of a cohesive plot; just amusement. I was quite mistaken and got more than I bargained for.
The references to the cities and areas I am familiar with were accurate, but the story line was so engrossing that I lost sleep a couple of evenings when I stayed up too late in order to keep reading to see what happens next.
This is a "dark novel." Some aspects of the storyline strained believability. Some scenes were frightening. Some were disturbing.
But the author keeps the reader involved.
