The Patmos Enigma by Ken Fry (My Goodreads Review)

The Patmos Enigma

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A splendid biblical thriller entwined with religious myth and celestial occurrences etc. An archaeological team in Israel discover an ancient ossuary. It contains six of the famous Seven Seals. The main characters of the archaeological team are Simon Rockwell, Rachel Carver, Joshua Agar and Julian Gallo.

The discovery has diabolical consequences as ancient and hidden Christian orders are awakened. The Keepers or AWC will go to any lengths to acquire the religious seals. They will do vile murders to gain the coveted prize. When the reader is introduced to the Grand Keeper and what he stands for, there is a complete wow moment!

In competition against the Keepers are the Guardians. Father Luke is the champion of this secret movement. He is aided by a splendid computer programme called Earthworm. It gives the Guardians their edge.

The missing seventh seal is all to play for. All seem to know the caves where a rough estimation of the seventh seal is to be discovered. The archaeological team are being watched by both sides as the religious quest is allowed to continue. But which side will snatch the final seal to complete the Seven Seals?

1. The dark Keepers who will destroy the Holy Roman church to start a new super divine world order?

2. Or will the Guardians’ order win and protect the Status Quo?

It is all up for grabs with hidden groups in the corridors of power, deep inside the Vatican. So secret that even the Pope is unaware of the existence of these strange Christian orders.

I like the way the reader is drip-fed the archaeological find at the beginning with the various consequences and cameo flashbacks to characters of ancient times. Then the Pandora’s Box of paranormal and underground forces suddenly begin to bloom as the story progresses. Everything comes to a very dramatic climax. A very enjoyable read.
