Orazio Odi 2.3 Aequam Memento

Map of Destiny - Glenn Cooper (North 2011) There was

I, Barthomieu, monaco abbey of Ruach, I have two hundred and twenty years. And this is my story.

After reading the first two novels by Glenn Cooper, "The library of the dead" and "The Book of Souls", I could not wait to read the new novel 's American author. Again, Glenn seems desk study how to nail the reader on the pages of his novel, and like the previous two, action and no shortage of pathos. First things first.
Stating that " Map of Destiny" is the most beautiful of the past is not even a euphemism.
The writing is certainly better and more mature el 'only fault I can find is that the pattern is too literary schematically, "chilling" the flow of reading and putting, as they say, "too many irons in the fire."
Since "The library of the dead" Glen Cooper has proven to be a master in being able to interweave narrative plots developed at different times and in this case the novel intersects three historical periods.
Overcoming the initial part, we get to the second block of narrative when an abbot, who lived for 200 years, writes a book in code, telling secrets (and I avoid to mention not to spoil the reading), I'd better stay that way , so that the book itself is walled all 'inside of his monastery.
the book back into the open after a fire in the monastery stesso.
Il manoscritto, gravemente danneggiato, viene inviato a Parigi ad Hugo Pineau, un 'restauratore' che ne inizia così a studiare il contenuto, scoprendo una storia che rasenta quasi il fantastico riguardo a una grotta con dentro dipinti e murales nei pressi dell' abbazia.
Viene quindi arruolato l' archeologo Luc Simard , il personaggio principale del libro , che inizia a esplorare la grotta fino a ritrovarsi davanti a una sorta di labirinto di caverne preistoriche scavate nella roccia, che alla fine lo condurrà all' interno di una camera sorprendente, così come descritto nel libro. 
Ma cosa si cela in quella caverna di tanto importante da far sì that death begins to fall on members of the team of archaeologist?
Why the 'whole village of Ruach is reluctant to give support to the archaeological mission, trying to hinder the work of scholars?
Excellent is the characterization and Simard it is just an example.
When I had spoken with Cooper, he told me that, in addition to historical research, as much time for writing the novel employs its own study of the characters, and you believe it.
short, a book that I highly recommend.
