The Other Exodus
When an archaeological dig in Britain reveals a first century artefact, the only known relic proven to have belonged to the ancient druids, an unprecedented historical link to the biblical Exodus of Old Testament Egypt is revealed.
A hidden history of Britannia begins to emerge, suppressed for centuries by successive kings, nobles and leaders, terrified at the prospect of their people learning the truthful origins of a society that has been founded on over two thousand years of manufactured lies.
As evidence and proof of The Other Exodus reveals itself, a battle for the suppressed knowledge, power and control of a rapidly disintegrating Britain begins.
With a Prime Minister who has revolution on her mind and an Archbishop determined to introduce a new world order, events quickly spiral out of control, culminating in the breathtaking recovery of an iconic object that has the power to transform not just the history of a nation, but the history of the world.

The Other Britan
Wonderful twist on our ancient British / Irish ancestors, that migrated to build a better society. There were occasional gaps in the story i.e., The ceremony that Branwen conducted to awaken the memory of the ancient self, in Robert, would have been an interesting addition to the story.
However, that said.... I am a fan of combining the historical with archeology and the esoteric. The use of Druidic practices and Egyptian mysticism is not outside the realm of possibility.
I recommend this fun book and hope that the author continues to write more with these characters.

Thoughtful book.
Intriguing concept concerning lost treasures and a race to discovery. An imaginative discourse about time and myths, connecting thru study and inspiration, mixing well into a bit of a thriller. Unfortunately the ending felt rushed, leading to a lower rating.

Good story
Great story with some interesting plot. However the writing style jumps around and can sometimes be hard to follow. Overall though with the effort in the end.

Interesting story, Druid involvement is a great hook.
Some of my rating possibly has to do with the difference between American English and Great British. Nonetheless, I found the frequent head-hopping, often multiple times on the same page, jarring. I also would have liked more showing than telling throughout the book. I did find myself caught up in the world created by the author, and had to read to the (sort of) ending. Obviously meant to be the start of a series, but I would have liked a closure for now to this book. The cover is stunning!

Very interesting ideas and an excellent concept. However, a number of gaps in the story-line made it difficult to follow at times. It was well written and thought provoking, and well worth the read, even though it was not always clear who was who.

When I first started reading this book, I was excited. I love ancient mysteries and everything connected to conspiracy theories.
Unfortunately, this book doesn’t offer much! Somewhere at the very beginning I lost sense of what is happening in the story. The explanations are too complicated and sometimes it was hard for me to follow the plot.
The writing style is a bit too “stiff”, maybe not engaging enough.
Couldn’t finish it! I won’t recommend!

Da Vinci for Druids (Only Better!)
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: FORBIDDEN HISTORY MYSTERY NOVEL
Stewart-Kearns has mixed "Forbidden history", early christian philosophy, mystery, Druids, the Vatican and British history in a fictional epic, almost a national epic, tale. It is a wonderful work of art and an enjoyable read.
As the tale begins, archeologists uncover the legendary cauldron of Bran. After cleaning, the golden cauldron reveals both Celtic and Pharoahnic symbols. This discovery is accompanied by Celtic and Druidic discoveries.
The Archbishop of Canterbury and the British Prime Minister see the opportunity to restore an "old world order". The Romans who militarily defeated the Colts and Druids, disagree...and seek to retain control...
This is just such a great novel of discovery, history and legend! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

August 29, 2015Huge Swaths of Story Missing
I agree with other reviewers that it is a good story. It appears to me that many pages have been cut. Unfortunately, this editing has made the story line difficult to follow. This could be partially remedied by adding to each chapter heading a date. The book, especially in the beginning, is not in chronological order, and later jumps months or maybe years. Hard to tell.

Not too sure how I feel about this one
It is certainly thought provoking. The. Basic premise of this seems logical since we only know part of what happened back then. I am not sure how I feel about some of these characters though. I will need time to digest this one.

Fabulous!
I liked this book more than any I have read in a very long time. The mind that conjured it is not only brilliantly complex but one I would like to meet. I hope there will be many more by Jo.
