Will Adams has tried his hand at a multitude of careers over the years. Most recently, he worked for a London-based firm of communications consultants, before giving it up to pursue his lifelong dream of writing fiction. His first novel, The Alexander Cipher, is a modern-day quest to find the lost tomb of Alexander the Great. Published in November 2007 by Harper Collins, it is being translated into twelve languages, including French, German, Italian, Spanish and Dutch, and will be published in the USA by Grand Central Publishing.
I really enjoyed this book. I was not expecting such a twist! The book does show the way a cult will play with your deepest desires and catch you at your lowest. If Adams intended for us to understand the cult mindset from a person who is “rational” and “educated,” he did a great job.
In some way, when you put yourself in the mind of a free thinker, you think you are invincible from outside influence. But, can the smartest people be taken over by emotion if they were vulnerable enough? This is a must read!
