Description
A coded manuscript. A global conspiracy. The search for the Holy Grail begins again.
From internationally bestselling author Glenn Cooper comes a gripping historical thriller that fuses Arthurian legend, medieval secrets, and cutting-edge science in a breathtaking quest for the world’s most elusive relic.
England, fifteenth century.
Imprisoned in a cold stone cell, Sir Thomas Malory—author of Le Morte d’Arthur—believes he has failed in his lifelong search for the Holy Grail. But before his death, he hides the key to its location within the very pages of his famous tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.
England, present day.
When scientist and amateur archaeologist Arthur Malory narrowly survives a fire that kills his closest friend and the friend’s wife, he discovers the tragedy may be linked to a long-lost document tied to the Grail. Now targeted by faceless enemies who will stop at nothing, Arthur must follow a centuries-old trail of clues left by his ancestor. His quest will span continents and millennia—from the tombs of Jerusalem to the cathedrals of Spain, from Cornwall’s Arthurian coast to a secret physics lab in France.
But at the heart of this journey lies something even more powerful than the relic itself: a force that challenges the boundaries of science and faith—a force tied to the very origin of the universe.
For fans of Dan Brown, James Rollins, and Kate Mosse, The Resurrection Maker is an intelligent, globe-spanning adventure that reimagines the Grail legend for the modern age.

Another great story from Glenn Cooper. A thoroughly enjoyable action adventure following the hunt for the Holy Grail. Lots of treachery, clues to follow, and interesting characters. I just didn't expect it to end like it did ... a bit disappointing!
Thanks to Netgalley, Book Whisperer, and Glenn Cooper for the free ARC. All opinions are my own.

An exciting modern-day search for the Holy Grail, with an interesting cast of characters forming a club of scholars (not adventure-hunters) tracing the relic. This story has as much excitement and country-hopping as an Indiana Jones tale, but with a solid base of historical and biblical information. And then metallurgy and alchemy are woven into the intrigue, blurring the religious and scientific origin. The story is just the right mix of danger and adventure, science and Christianity, fact and fiction. There are enough twists to leave you questioning allegiances, possibilities, even alternate dimensions as a form of Heaven. The end truly leaves you on the edge of something magical, mystical or holy - and I can't wait to find out what happens next! This is clearly a series starter, and it sets the bar high for next in the series! Thank you to Book Whisperer and NetGalley for a courtesy copy of this book - I am excited to continue the series, and will be following this author!

The author is the master of blending history, archeology, and faith into an engaging tale. He’s done it again, both teaching and inspiring.

This encompassed some wonderful writing that is finite in presentation. There is a fair cast of characters that traverse a detailed history.

A Grail quest novel which was excellent.
Arthur Malory, a descendant of the Malory who wrote Mort d' Arthur, renews the quest that his ancestor attempted.
An exciting novel with a brilliant story and characters, especially Arthur.
An unusual piece of writing and I was put off right at the beginning by the bit about a supernova, but I decided that I would read a bit more and I am so glad I did.
Five stars fot this novel and if I could give it more stars, then I would.
