Relation Toward Books The Stonehenge Legacy
Conspiracy thrillers have tackled Da Vinci, Atlantis and the Pyramids - but never Stonehenge. Until now. With a concept to rival the very biggest books in the genre, this novel will dazzle anyone interested in one of the world's most fascinating mysteries.Eight days before the summer solstice, a man is butchered in a blood-freezing sacrifice on the ancient site of Stonehenge before a congregation of robed worhsippers. Within hours, one of the world's foremost treasure hunters has shot himself in his country mansion. And to his estranged son, young archaeologist Gideon Chase, he leaves a cryptic letter . . .
Teaming up with an intrepid Wiltshire policewoman, Gideon soon exposes a secret society - an ancient international legion devoted for thousands of years to Stonehenge. With a charismatic and ruthless new leader at the helm, the cult is now performing ritual human sacrifices in a terrifying bid to unlock the secret of the stones.
Packed with codes, symbology, relentless suspense, and fascinating detail about the history of one of the world's most mysterious places, The Stonehenge Legacy is a blockbuster thriller to rival the very best of Dan Brown.

It took me little under 24 hours to finish reading this book and once I got past the name dropping and references (to Hugh Grant, Madonna, Guy Ritchie, Pete Docherty, Amy Winehouse, Heat magazine, the X factor, Ben and Jerry's, Top Gun, CSI Miami, Bose sound systems, the Black eyed peas, the sun newspaper, the US reality show Survivor and I pads), the story was actually pretty good.This is part of the reason why it lost a star in my ratings. Also you have to factor in a slight miscalculation inThough the Swedish translation was poor and made the reading experience distorted. Badly translated words and sentences make you aware of the letters, pages, the book, and makes the journey in the book less harmonious. As if traveling by a car that's half-broken.
Hard to put down, story moves at a fast pace.
What a totally disappointing book. Begun at 11:00 on a train and finished by the time I returned home at 6:00, it really is that thin despite the 500 or so pages. The basic premise of the story is that a secret cult worships at Stonehenge or some other underground version of it and requires sacrifices. They obtain sacrifices; the police become involved; that's it. Secret cults... Ancient settings... an academic unwittingly involved in their machinations. Did someone give Sam Christer the
Two stars because it really was ok, but it was just ok. I expected more. Sam Christer was trying to pull off a Dan Brown or Steve Berry and failed at it. It took me a while to finish this book because I was turned off by the writing style and the big font size used. The font size and the sentence construction made me feel like I was reading a Sweet Valley book; very simple words, limited vocabulary, didn't flesh out thoughts much. It didn't challenge my imagination and the words used didn't
3.7 stars
