The title refers to the pieces of silver Judas Iskariot received for his betrayal in the Jesus myth. Some of the coins still exist and have the power to bring evil into the world. So far the story without spoiling to much.
The first half of the book had me captured and it would have gotten 4 stars. But in the second half the author was just babbling nonsense. I stuck with it cause I wanted to know the end of the story, but that was very disappointing.

Wow! De mult nu m-a mai "prins" așa o carte cu subiect mistico-religios. Ritmul tot mai alert al acțiunii te corupe și te face să nu o poți lăsa din mână. Un thriller bine scris și bine documentat. De citit!

***********************

Wow! It's been a long time since I've been so "captured" by a book with a mystical-religious subject. The increasingly fast pace of the action corrupts you and makes you unable to put it down. A well-written and well-documented thriller. A must read!

Am Anfang ziemlich gut und spannend, aber im laufe des Buches immer abgedrehter und etwas seltsam

[Ioanna Papantoniou · Rating 2 out of 5]

Δε μου φτάνει που έχασα χρόνο από τη ζωή μου για να το διαβάσω, έπρεπε και να δημιουργήσω την ελληνική έκδοση για ένα βιβλίο που εκδόθηκε πριν 10 χρόνια...
Όχι εντάξει είμαι υπερβολική (ως συνήθως)
Το βιβλίο οριακά παλεύεται. Εξαιρουμένου του αντιπαθητικού ήρωα (περιμένεις από την πρώτη στιγμή πότε θα πεθάνει, σχεδόν ελπίζεις γι΄αυτό) και του γεγονότος ότι δε μένει κανείς ζωντανός στο τέλος, και προσπερνώντας την θρησκοληψία του συγγραφέα, κατά τα άλλα διαβάζεται.
Εάν έχετε αλλεργία στη θρησκεία, στην παραψυχολογία, στη μεταφυσική κοκ, θα πρότεινα ένα κρύο ντουζ καλύτερα από την ανάγνωση του συγκεκριμένου.
Διαφορετικά, δώστε του μια ευκαιρία αρκεί αυτή να είναι στην παραλία.
Το χειρότερο της υπόθεσης είναι πώς έτσι όπως δεντελειώνει, κάπως μου γεννήθηκε η επιθυμία για τη συνέχεια (ειλικρινά, ελπίζω να μην έχει. Περνάω δύσκολη αναγνωστική χρονιά, ώρα είναι να την χάνω με τέτοια παραψυχολογικοθρησκευτικά θρίλερ.)
Βασικά, η αίσθηση που αποκόμισα με την ολοκλήρωση του βιβλίου είναι η εξής:
Να τι θα προέκυπτε εάν έγραφε ο Dan Brown το Supernatural.
Και αυτό τα λέει όλα!

Unoriginelle Story, dafür aber wenigstens viel zu lang und voller Logikfehler. Und weil das noch nicht reicht, hat auch das Lektorat anscheinend Urlaub gemacht und jede Menge Schreibfehler, falschen Satzbau und seltsame Formulierungen durchgewunken. Teilweise wurden Redewendungen aus dem englischen Original eins zu eins übersetzt, anstatt nach deutschen Entsprechungen zu suchen. Das erschwert zusätzlich zum hanebüchenen Plot das Verständnis. Man kann nur von diesem Buch abraten.

[Wilde Sky · Rating 4 out of 5]

A mystical coin grants the holder great power but also corrupts them.

As a pure thriller (I have no idea whether any of the historical / religious references are correct) the first ninety percent really grabbed me (it reminded me of the Omen) but towards the end it got a bit muddled and in a few places the writing could have been tighter.

Overall rating 3.5

[Lenka Penka · Rating 1 out of 5]

Ужасная книга: заявка на исторический детектив, а в результате на 50-ой странице начинаются фантастические путешествия по астральным мирам, перемещения в пространстве, подглядывания третьим глазом и прочая муть. Никакого отношения к религии или истории книга не имеет.

[Alexandra · Rating 5 out of 5]

Mi-a placut enorm de mult. M-a prins de la prima pagina si pur si simplu am tras de mine sa o termin. Foarte vizuala cartea cu pasaje pe care aproape ca le vezi in fata ochilor. O lume nebuna rau descrie autorul in care fortele raului vor sa coboare pe pamant printre oameni. 5 stelute musai.

[Seb Sebastian · Rating 1 out of 5]

Too long and awful/boring/two dimensional characters.

Spannender Thriller mit einigen logischen und theologischen Fehlern.

Basilica Sf. Petru din Roma. Duminică după-amiază.
Inima creştinătăţii era scăldată în razele calde ale soarelui de august. După ce au gustat măslinele şi vinul localnicilor, turiştii au coborât din autocarele dotate cu aer condiţionat în Via della Conciliazione şi s-au strâns în grupuri mici ca să facă turul oraşului. Germanii şi-au potrivit obiectivele camerelor de filmat, americanii au pornit în căutarea celor mai apropiate magazine de suvenire, englezii s-au aşezat la coadă disciplinaţi, fără ca nimeni să le ceară acest lucru, iar francezii se întrebau ce caută prin părţile acelea.
Turiştii au început apoi să urce încet treptele de marmură ca să ajungă în piaţa Sf. Petru. În timp ce mulţimea îşi croia drum înainte, şoferii autocarelor fluturau steguleţe roşii ca să-i îndrume.
În cele din urmă, au ajuns la intrarea basilicii, fiind cu greu urmaţi de bătrânii şi invalizii care se sprijineau de cadre.
Au fost apoi preluaţi de ghizi, care şi-au început discursurile profesioniste. Cuvintele se revărsau nestingherite pe dalele de piatră, ca un pârâu şuierător, într-o multitudine de limbi.

Very much in the "Dan Brown" style, there are several storylines which are confusing initially, but they do come together and from that point the book moves forward well and keeps you gripped to the end.

There is some excellent weaving of fact & fiction in this book, and it's good to have a bibliography to see where the author got some of his facts. I enjoyed the book but felt that the ending is a little rushed & patchy as if the author wasn't sure whether he wanted to draw all the threads together and close the story or leave it open for a sequel.

[Betty · Rating 2 out of 5]

Die Idee, die hinter dem Buch steckt, ist eigentlich gut. Leider ist diese unheimliche "Macht, das "Böse" viel zu wage beschrieben. Es wirkt etwas unglaubwürdig. Den Charakteren fehlt es an Tiefe, sodass ich mich nicht hineinversetzen konnte. Ich habe bis zum Schluss durchgehalten, weil ich wissen wollte, wie das Buch ausgeht. Grundsätzlich mag ich Spannungsromane, die sich mit Jesus und der katholischen Kirche beschäftigen, sie dürfen gerne auch mythische Elemente enthalten. Aber das Buch war nicht meins.

[Ana · Rating 3 out of 5]

I think the only reason I gave it only three stars is that it was a bit too religious for my taste. I believe in God, don't get me wrong, I just have a problem with religion in general. Anyway, it was actually a really interesting read, and I learned a lot from it, especially since it motivated me to read Carl Jung's The Undiscovered Self which was also amazing and really inspiring.

Der Judasfluch, a book about the 30 silver coins of Judas. In this book, because of what Judas did, the coins have great power to destroy the church. Another church conspiracy book, a bit page turner.

chilling!

Didn't live up to my high expectations, having read The Mastership Game first.
