MY TAKE:
I have been anxiously awaiting this book from the get go. After Illuminated, I knew that I'd found a new favorite author. Matt has an amazing style - quick paced and spellbinding. House of Wolves was all that I hoped for. In fact, I think it might even be more nail biting than the first. I'm not sure what his secret is, but his ability to blend little known historical facts with danger, intrigue and humor is phenomenal. (Yes, I did say humor, because August has a great sense of humor. ) I would tell you more, but honestly, why ruin the surprise? Just take my word for it. If you enjoyed The DaVinci Code or National Treasure, you'll definitely love Matt's work.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
A mysterious book with a dangerous secret.
An evil brotherhood out to conquer the world.
One man stands between them . . . with his family in the balance.
In the twelfth century, Henry the Lion collected the rarest relics in Christendom. And to protect his most precious acquisitions, he encoded the whereabouts in a gorgeous illuminated manuscript called The Gospels of Henry the Lion.
The manuscript has been showing up and disappearing ever since. No one knows where the relic has been hidden . . . or its ultimate power.
Only one man holds the key to the mystery.
He's carrying it in his briefcase at his son's school for show-and-tell, and he thinks it's a fake. But he's about to find out just how real it is.
Because the wolves are rapidly closing in. And if August Adams can't decode the secret in time, the world's balance of power will forever be altered.
