A gripping, epic adventure story told in a satisfyingly filmic style. Beyond this it describes how, as early as the 15th Century, Science, Christianity and Islam were not set as three enemies as they are today and moves further to suggest that established religions can hinder a person's journey to finding a relationship with the spiritual. For people of Faith, Agnostics and Atheists alike this is a positive, exciting read from a true Renaissance man.
