Заветът "Изида"
Рим, 64 г. сл. Хр. Император Нерон заповядва на група римски войници да открият легендарната съкровищница на царица Дидона. Никой не е предполагал, че в пещера, скрита дълбоко в Атласките планини, се крие най-ценното от всички съкровища: Короната на Изида.
Берлин, 1945 г. В хаоса, настъпил в последните дни от Втората световна война, от немската столица изчезва ценен обект, откраднат от млад нацист.
Лондон, наши дни. Търговец на произведения на изкуството на име Джейми Синклер получава неочаквано обаждане от нюйоркски детектив. Даниела Фишър се нуждае от консултант като него, за да разгадае жестокото убийство на младо семейство. Двамата тръгват по следите на убиец, обсебен от древноегипетски артефакт, който никой не е виждал от последните дни на Третия Райх. Разследването отвежда Дани и Джейми от Лондон през Берлин и Хамбург до Оксфорд и ги среща с врагове и приятели, които надминават всички техни очаквания…
Под псевдонима Джеймс Дъглас пише авторът на исторически бестселъри Дъглас Джаксън. Шотландският писател е работил като журналист над трийсет години и е известен с романите си за Древен Рим.

An in betwëen novel for some train reading, what can go wrong if you have the following ingredients: Nazi the old and new variaties, some ancient artifact that has some occult strenght, the hero is not an Indiana Jones but finds lost artifacts. In the previous book hé recoveren a lost Raphael (painting) and hé crossed somebody who sends professional killer after our hero Jamie Saint... something.
you get all the right ingredients and the book never got a real liftoff even the ending of the book was a dissapointment. By the end I really did not care anymore.
I guess I have read too many better books which were far more enjoyable. If I read this book at the beach I would probably have buried it on said beach.
So move on nothing to read......

An exciting thriller that blends ancient legend and modern history into an explosive adventure with dark twists and turns which will leave the reader breathless. I loved the premise which is on par with Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code, but the writing is more lucid and has an excellent flow to the narrative that balances suspense and action without the erudite posturing which sometimes happen in Brown.
Douglas did a good job of giving a grim picture of the Nazism in Germany, and its after effects during the 2nd world war and its end. He focuses primarily on Hitler and Himmler's obsession with the occult and ancient artifacts, and the neo-nazi cults that continues to operate in the dark and carry the twisted legacy. It's sort of a cat and mouse hunt, and hence there's a lot of globe trotting from one country to another.
There are some really gruesome scenes, especially the murders, and the psycopath who has a singular goal of retrieving the ancient artifact makes for an interesting antagonist. I loved how Douglas has extrapolated the concept of Isis as a mother-goddess and her influence in other religions and cultures across the world. More so, this novel can be read as a quasi- historical thriller, and the author provides enough nuggets from various sources to keep the premise authentic and believable.
I enjoyed reading the novel. The pacing was excellent, and the main characters are dynamic enough to keep the story moving. Jamie Sintclair as the art connoisseur and ocassional sleuth needs to upgrade himself a little. He made some naive decisions in this story, but this is the second novel and Jamie has enough time to reinvent himself as a action-sleuth and art scholar.

After reading James Douglas' excellent debut thriller The Doomsday Code I couldn't wait to read its follow up The Isis Covenant. Jamie Saintclair, the art dealer who seems to attract trouble like bees to honey, is a very likeable hero while, as with the Doomsday Code, the baddies are horrifying. The story here has its roots in the Egyptian and Roman past but a significant strand takes place in Germany during the terrifying closing days of World War II. An excellent follow up by an author of brilliant Roman historical fiction writing under a pseudonym.

Despite occupying some of the same historical space as my last outing in this genre - The Charlemagne Pursuit - The Isis Covenant is a much more nuanced, well-written and therefore much more convincing and satisfying read. It reads like a proper book, by a proper author who can write properly and doesn't read like a collection of sketched notes and still the outline of a book, like The Charlemagne Pursuit did.
The plot is reasonably simple, but then all good plots are. It involves the hunt for the Crown of Isis, that has been revered through the centuries, since Egyptian times. Legend has it, that it can give its wearer eternal life, if certain rituals are followed. Mid first century AD, the crown was stolen from the Temple of Isis and its whereabouts became a mystery that has lasted centuries. However, in the depravity, destruction and confusion of the end of the Second World War in Berlin, the artifact comes to light again. Then stolen. Or rather a certain part of it is stolen. Fast forward to today where English art dealer Jamie Saintclair, is contacted by a New York detective investigating a rather unpleasant murder case. Several members of a particular family, who turn out to have had a connection with Nazi Germany, have been murdered in way that seems to resemble an ancient ritual. Investigations unveil a distinctly disturbing and dangerous connection with the Nazis, their modern day apologists, Russian billionaires and a murderous plot to re-unite the pieces of the crown and fulfil the ancient ritual, before time runs out. But for who?
I thought that the scenes where Douglas describes the atmosphere in Berlin at the end of Hitler's Third Reich and especially the inside of the Berlin Bunker, were simply stunning. Very evocative indeed. Coming off the back of reading Antony Beevor's utterly magnificent The Second World War, I must say he surely comes close to capturing the chaos and desparate madness of how it must have been at the epicenter of the maelstrom. You won't come across many better written descriptive passages in any of this kind of historical action thriller. Outstanding.
The plot developments are logical, but never too obvious. The writing style is fluid, effective and satisfying, but doesn't serve everything up on a plate for you. I liked the way I felt like I still needed to do some of the work trying to figure out what was going on and how it all hung together, alongside the main characters. I had to go back over some sections a couple of times, to make sure I'd grasped it and not jumped ahead making connections that weren't there. And shocks and shocking incidents there are aplenty.
The only thing I'd quibble over is Saintclair. His name. I do, as I've said before, have issues over some of the characters' names in books like these. The Isis Covenant looks like the second Jamie Saintclair adventure and it looks likely they'll continue - so I'll say here and now, that James Douglas' next will get another half star on top, if the plot involves Saintclair changing his name by deed poll.

April 1, 2022No stars. Probably one of the worst books I've ever read. All the characters were stereotypes, the situations were ludicrous and the whole story is preposterous.

Enjoyable
This is my second time to read this story and l still found myself caught up in each part of the journey to locate the crown and eye of lsis. Jamie Saintclair an Art expert and Danny Fisher a New York Detective are a strange pairing but works. I find it nice to come back to a book. Why read once and forget about. Rereading can make one more aware of the details

Second book in the Saintclair series is superior. But the author's Rome novels are still better.

“Historical” fiction. Touches lightly on ancient Egyptian myth and made up legend about the immortality-bequeathing attributes of a gold crown and a HUGE diamond which have been separated by the Second World War and some Nazis. Good ?historical detail about the fall of the Reich (I assume) but the story wasn’t as clear or linear as it thought it was. Often in the narrative it wasn’t clear who was doing what, the main characters Jamie & Danny seemed interchangeable as they were both gender ambiguous names and we never found out if the whole thing was a myth or what was doing on with the recitations by the dying man on the bed… all in all it was unnecessarily complicated and not very satisfying. Throwing in a few sex scenes because the main characters are male and female seems a bit silly given what they’re doing together… and all the improbability of the action… it didn’t do much for me. I did t care enough about the characters.
I’d call it a holiday read. Trashy and silly but enjoyable until you think about it seriously. Not one I’ll keep.

AD 64 - Roman centurion Marcus Domitus leads an expedition to find the mythical treasure hidden deep inside Queen Dido's temple.
AD 1945 - In the confusion and chaos of a burning Berlin, two high-powered Nazis disappear, and so does a precious object.
AD 2009 - Two families are brutally tortured and murdered in Boston and London, the crimes linked by a single name and a shared history.
Art recovery specialist Jamie Saintclair receives a call from a Boston detective, asking for his help to investigate a brutal murder. She believes Saintclair might hold the key to solving the crime through his detailed knowledge of specialist Nazi units. But as they delve deeper into the sinister world of the occult, they uncover a dark secret that men have lusted over for more than two millennia. Long ago, in the ancient temple of Isis, something was stolen, and the repercussions have resonated through the centuries. Saintclair must discover the truth before the curse claims more victims, and finally catches up with him.

This wasn’t on my list for December- but I fancied a treasure hunting thriller and picked this up at a National Trust secondhand bookshop.
This is everything you expect from this kind of book.
Lots of drama, jetting all over the place and death defying escapes as Jamie and Danny dash about Europe hunting Nazi war criminals and mythical magical treasure.
The scenes in Nazi Germamy are atmospheric and evocative. There is a real sense of trying to recreate the chaos and confusion of the end of the war as members of Hitler’s inner circles try to escape and save themselves.
Some of the book is a bit ridiculous or lacking explanation, but it is possible to suspend your disbelief and go along with the adventure.
This isn’t particularly memorable- writing this now, I can’t actually remember how it ended, but it was an enjoyable read and perfect action adventure escapism.

Good Story
Once again our author delivers a good story, but the sloppy pacing and confusing war scenes made this one tough to read. While I loved the story idea, it came out very convoluted and at times beyond boring to the point I was skipping pages and pages hoping to find something I could get involved in again. And the ending left me unsatisfied and angry. I wished in that moment I held a physical book so I could throw it across the room, or burn it. The worst ending ever. Sorry, but still a good story when you could hold the thread of it.

Middle of the road, standard fayre.
Easy, clean, historical artifact plus Nazis plus innocent academic who happens to have military training, throw in a random woman with whom he immediately starts sleeping and, hey presto, a top selling book.
Pleasantly passes a few hours but I've forgotten it already.

I don't have a lot to say. It was a bit hard to read as the subject-line seemed to meander. I didn't enjoy the book and can't recommend it as I just never felt the story took hold of itself. Sorry, but this isn't a book I'd recommend.

This book was great fun! I seriously enjoyed the action and the humor, as well as the drama and the agony.
A ‘willing suspension of disbelief’ that I was more than willing to follow.
Great stuff.
I couldn’t put it down!

Eye of Isis
Full pelt story. Gripping from page one. Murders linked to an artefact that could be linked to Nazi Germany. Delving back in time to trace the true owner. Loved every second

Поредната не лоша история, в която добрите и лошите се впускат в шеметна надпревара за древен артефакт и в битка помежду си. В цялото това нещо са намесени нацистки военнопрестъпници и мистични ритуали.
Позната схема.
А книгата не е нито по-добра, нито по-лоша от подобни в жанра.

I am a fan of Douglas’s books, though they can often seem drawn out and, at times, a little tedious to read.
However, his storyline here was a clever mix and his characters are always sound.
I’d recommend this book to lovers of this genre.

Review:
The second in this series of books based around art recovery expert Jamie Sinclair. Book one the Doomsday testament The Doomsday Testament was a massive and wonderful surprise. There are so many thrillers of this type on the market but so many fall short of being a great thriller. Something of the quality of an early Jack Higgins WW2 thriller. Doomsday Testament was an equal to those books and doubly so because it was a debut thriller.
Great debuts are always a double edged sword, is it a flash in the pan? can it be equalled or beaten by book two?
Thankfully for me, you and James Douglas yes he can equal it, in fact it beats book one for suspense, action, adventure, intrigue and story.
As in doomsday testament, the Isis Covenant blends the modern world with World War 2, add in a nice dose of Ancient history with the central aim being the recovery of the Crown of Dido. A legendary item hunted by Tyrants through the ages for its alleged ability to hold the answer to life/ Death.
Our Hero Jamie has a price on his head, is it from his recent past and his butting heads with the remnants of the Nazi Regime? Who is the evil force killing people in such a gruesome fashion? What are they looking for? will they find it? and if they do what terrifying outcome will come to pass? I'm not giving away the plot, you need to buy the book to find out. But its Sooooo worth doing so.
As with book one the characters are so well written, so real and alive and this is no surprise because James Douglas is the pseudonym of one of my favourite historical writers none other than Douglas Jackson. Writer of so many fantastic books. It also answers why the history of these books is so real and vivid.
Caligula (Rufus 1)Claudius (Rufus 2) Hero of Rome (Gaius Valerius Verrens 1)Defender of Rome (Gaius Valerius Verrens 2)
And once you have managed to work your way through the fantastic feast above there is also the latest in the Verrens series Avenger of Rome (Gaius Valerius Verrens 3)
The only thing wrong with this book is that they didn't do it in Hardback.
This is a must read book, one not to miss.
Very Highly Recommended

Despite being the second book in this series, it’s the first book I’ve read by this author and it didn’t matter that I hadn’t read the first book in the series. Likeable characters. Action. Ancient Egyptology and historical references. Brilliant. I hope to read more from this author.
