    • 3/5
      While not a book I would normally pick up I found this rather and interesting read. I enjoyed the characters quite a bit. The story was intriguing because of the different places the novel took me; from New York City, to Vienna, to Jordon.
    • 3/5
      Fr. Anthony Fowler and journalist Andrea Otero return in this sequel to GOD'S SPY. After a slow and uneven start, things settle in nicely at around the 75 page mark, or when a pivotal expedition really gets underway. What follows is an enjoyable (but not terribly original) religious thriller with nothing short of the Ark of the Covenant as its objective. Where the protagonists are concerned, I continued to enjoy Fowler immensely (even though there's not much further character development for him in this one), whereas I can't recall finding Otero this unlikable in the first book, making it hard to really root for her, as being manipulative, greedy and self-centered are not endearing personality traits. Still, I felt sorry for her for one loss, at least. As for the story itself, there were some of the usual questionable plot points that didn't really detract from the larger narrative, but they were frustrating and could have been easily avoided or remedied. In the end, a solid if unoriginal story with some weak pacing at times and some inconsequential but questionable plot moments.
    • 4/5
      This book starts in Vienna in 1943, two parents are attempting to find out if their eldest son is still alive after he was taken to a hospital by the Nazis. To try and get information from the doctor they offer him a gold filigree covered candle, the doctor claims that the boy is already dead and then when the parents leave the hospital he informs the SS. The parents leave behind another young son.

      The story then shifts to the present day, the doctor has been hunted down as a suspected war criminal and the candle has been recovered because of course this is no ordinary candle it contains a piece of the Copper Scroll which gives the supposed location of The Ark of The Covenant. With the backing of a multi-billionaire and the Vatican a group of archeologists,mercenaries,a couple of cooks, a doctor, a reporter and a priest head off to the Jordanian desert to find it. Nobody in this group is to be trusted, as well as operatives from the CIA and Mossad they have been infiltrated by a terrorist and the mutli-billionaire is hiding something as well. The identity of the CIA operative is given fairly early on in the story but while Jurado may be trying to keep you guessing as to the identity of both the Mossad operative and the terrorist plus the multi-billionaires secret all are far to obvious.
      The reporter is the lead female character and while I think that the author was trying to create a strong character what he actually created was an unlikeable bitch. I don't think it's a good sign if you keep hoping for the lea character to be killed. I might be being unfair, maybe he did create a strong character and something got lost in translation.

      Overall a quick read but far too predictable.

    • 3/5
      A reclusive billionaire gathers together an incredibly diverse group of adventurers to find the Ark of the Covenant. But there are PLENTY of people who are trying to stop them -- and that's where the fun really begins. That's a pretty decent plot summary, actually. The book is NOT a fast-paced thriller, though it could have been very easily. The characters are compelling, though it's VERY hard to start to care about anybody since you never really know who they really are, or what their agenda is. I understand why authors do this, and in many books it works well, but in The Moses Expedition it only serves to confuse. One thing that I DO like in a suspense novel -- I love it when the author shows that they are willing to kill off prominent characters. When you know that nothing is going to happen to a main character, it takes away from the suspense. Gomez-Jurado is more than willing to kill off his characters, so the suspense remains. This would make a great beach book this summer, or a fun weekend read anytime.
    • 4/5
      Very good. Action packed from very beginning.
    • 4/5
      Although a bit on the dark side, well, quite a bit, I thought that this was a very good novel. The story centers around a search for the ark of the covenant. There are Nazis, terrorists, agoraphobic billionaires and an assorted lot of characters not typical of novels of the genre. Read it!
