By Jerry Jenkins
Nicole Berman is an archaeologist on the brink of a world-changing discovery. During her first dig in Jordan, she believes she has found concrete evidence of a biblical patriarch that could change history books forever. But someone doesn’t want the truth revealed. While urgently trying to connect pieces of an ancient puzzle, a dangerous enemy is out to stop her.
ISLAND BREEZES
This book will hook you. I didn’t want to put it down. I couldn’t turn the pages quickly enough. Unfortunately, my husband likes to eat, so that slowed me down. I could have cared less about food while I was absorbed in this book.
This is a two-in-one book. Both stories held my interest from beginning to end. An end I didn’t want to happen. It left me wondering how soon Mr. Jenkins could churn out the next book in the Dead Sea Chronicles. I want to read it now.
This is the first book I’ve read by Mr. Jenkins since the Left Behind series. Now I’m wondering what all I’ve missed. I guess I’m going to have to hit the library soon.
Thanks, Mr. Jenkins. Keep writing as rapidly as you can. Please don’t leave me hanging here.
