By early 1998 Enzo Fardone had completed his manuscript, which was
forwarded to a publisher in London – the very same publisher of The Da
Vinci Code. In 2004 after reading Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code, Enzo
discovered to his surprise that many of the elements were similar to
those in his own manuscript. Duly concerned, he put his case forward
via the media, including the TV program Today Tonight. This started the
plagiarising controversy that since then simply will not go away!
Skilfully
combining factual theological principles with a magical flair for
story-telling, Enzo Fardone presents us with a powerful and
hard-hitting novel that leaves the reader with a deep vein of rich
spiritual knowledge. He challenges existing religious dogmas and
precepts by sifting through the veils of historically inaccurate
information. John Sinclair, the central character, takes the reader on
a spiritual journey through the South of France, and explains the
purpose of initiation into the Mysteries of the Holy Grail and the
symbolism of alchemy. Secrets are revealed of the treasure of
Rennes-Le-Château and the Masonic and Rosicrucian connections. It is an
adventure of initiation and a search for the treasure of the Cathars
and the Holy Grail. What are the codes hidden in the famous painting by
Nicholas Poussin ‘The Shepherds of Arcadia’ and where is the body of
Christ buried?
