Review – The ALeppo Code

Terry Brennan in his new book “The Aleppo Code” Book Three in The Jerusalem Prophecies series published by Kregel Publications gives us another thriller with Tom Bohannon. Will History’s most powerful weapon trigger humanity’s most horrifying days?

From the back cover:  A thousand-year-old manuscript reveals the existence of an ancient sanctuary.

Within that sanctuary lies the most powerful weapon in the history of the world.

The living members of Tom Bohannon’s band of adventurers gather again in Jerusalem—physically battered, emotionally exhausted, spiritually challenged, and in various stages of shock—to examine a copy of the tenth-century Aleppo Code, the oldest complete text of Jewish scripture. What the clues inside reveal could lead to the reuniting of the Ark of the Covenant with its true source of power, a weapon that could lead to victory for this ragged bunch trying to save the world.

Hunted by the relentless assassins of the Prophet’s Guard and caught in the web of an international conspiracy plotting the conquest of Europe, Bohannon’s team searches the ruins of Ancient Babylon. Their search lands them amid the chaos that engulfs western Iraq, but they must press on to accomplish one of the most pivotal pieces of end-times prophecy. This intrepid group will uncover secrets that require them to risk everything for their faith, their country, and the peace of all mankind.

Unfolding against the backdrop of an Israeli/U.S. strike against Iran and the planned economic overthrow of the European Union by the sinister, secret head of the international Muslim Brotherhood, The Aleppo Code is a heart-pounding race. Brennan takes an epic story on a grand scale and tells it primarily through the eyes of one man who is desperately trying to save the world as he follows God’s purpose for his life.

If you even remotely enjoyed the Indiana Jones movies then you are going to love this! Terry Brennan has not only done it again however I think he has given us the best of the series so far. Prophecy, intrigue, and terrorism saturate “The Aleppo Code“.  This time it is the Code that has been found again and we are off again trying to find this ancient weapon that would be deadly in the wrong hands. Naturally there is a group that is devoted to making sure they get there first and sets about to eliminate them.  “The Aleppo Code” is almost a non-stop action thriller.  Mr. Brennan has put in so many twists and turns in his story that it would make a roller coaster envious.  Tom, Doc, Joe and Sammy are wonderful characters that we care about, want to see escape the danger that they find themselves in and want them to succeed.  Terry Brennan has given us a unique thriller that will keep you on the edge of your chair as you read and flip pages as fast as possible.  I recommend this book highly!
