“James A little bit of Jack Bauer and Indiana Jones!"

FROM USA TODAY & MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR J. ROBERT KENNEDY

THE GRAIL HAS BEEN FOUND.
AND THERE’S NOTHING HOLY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.


Young Hannah never imagined that by helping her father host a mysterious guest and his twelve followers, she was witnessing the Messiah’s last supper. When she secretly takes the cup from which he drank in a desperate attempt to heal her ailing mother, she confirms its miraculous power—one that could change the course of history.

But that power comes at a cost.

The cup—a humble piece of dinnerware—vanishes into obscurity, only to resurface in the unlikeliest of modern-day America.

When renowned Archaeology Professors James Acton and Laura Palmer are summoned to verify the find of a lifetime, they are stunned to discover that what they believe is the Holy Grail has been stolen—just hours before their arrival.

Now, they must embark on a heart-stopping race against time to recover the most sought-after relic in human history. But the Grail, revered by billions, is also coveted by those with darker intentions—those who would exploit its power for unimaginable evil.

In The Hunt for the Holy Grail , award-winning USA Today and multi-million copy bestselling author J. Robert Kennedy takes you on a relentless, edge-of-your-seat adventure that spans continents and centuries. If you’re a fan of pulse-pounding thrillers by Dan Brown, Clive Cussler, and James Rollins, then this gripping tale of ancient secrets and modern-day peril is a must-read.

Grab your copy of The Hunt for the Holy Grail today, and join the quest for the fabled relic that could deliver eternal life, or even bring back the dead…

Holy Frail book 41

Cool premise of this book using the Templars for the basis of the book. The story is well researched and I like the way the stories using the past intermingled with present. However the stories are all getting to be the same. The story begins, problems arise the Actons are called in and then they get in trouble and the government is called in and sends the Special Forces team to help them and rescue them. Feels like its written with a planned script.

Kennedy did it again!

He knocked it out of the park. I am sure the Lord has gifted Kennedy of storytelling. Using the characters from his previous books, he continues to keep the reader o the edge of their seat.

Only the Professors

A new experience with the same results. The professors are in it up to their neck. The chase is on to find and capture the Holy Grail. Is it for real, you have to read the book to know.

Kennedy is the worst kind of tease he makes you think he’s going to turn the world upside down then he just gives a reason why the world in his book will never know what really happen that just want to pull my hair out.

Rob Kennedy, you have done it again. A real nail biter. The professors are in the thick of an intense quest to locate and secure a long thought mystical cup. Enjoy the read. It moves fast. The ending will surprise.

Intriguing idea for a story, keeps you guessing but dialogue is kind of simplistic.

Prett standard stuff from JRK with all the cahracters we know and love. Decent plot line as usual with a "could it be true" aspect again.
An enjoyable romp through the pages
