Graham Hancock has built up a considerable following with his
fascinating titles uncovering some of the most arcane secrets in
history. His greatest obsession, however, led him to give up nine
years of his life in order to find the exact location of the Ark of
the Covenant. Unsurprisingly, the reader is often reminded of the
pulse-pounding adventure of Raiders of the Lost Ark, and it's a
measure of Hancock's skill that a non-fiction title like this has
all the compulsive readability of a thriller. The concept of a
quest is a recurrent theme in human history, and Hancock's
conflation of travelogue, compelling narrative, the disclosure of
hidden facts (not to mention the imagination-stretching borders of
the possible) are the elements that make his work so popular. He
marshals his arguments with real skill, and even those who don't
believe a word will find it hard to put down. But his most singular
achievement is in the drawing together of the various strands that
lead to the resolution of the mystery. Here, as in many high
adventure writer from Rider Haggard onwards, Hancock really
delivers the goods. (Kirkus UK)
