N

But can any of it be real?
As the world watches on, it is up to Akkadian specialist Angelina Calla and Vatican expert Ben Verdyx to find out.

Dominus is Tom's first novel, published together with twin novellae: Genesis and Exodus. He is a fan of the fast-paced thriller, whose books are published by Headline and Quercus.
FROM TOM: Tom pets cats, routinely spills coffee, and is mildly certain that everything in the world, including his writing this sentence, is a huge conspiracy. He has never trained a dragon, and is only occasionally mistaken for Stephen Fry when walking down the street.

After a successful trilogy that encapsulated some interesting Vatican happenings, Tom Fox is back with this captivating novel that seeks to shake religion to its core once again. Something was surely wrong when the Tiber River began to run blood red. This was only exacerbated when gunmen opened fire in crowds across Rome, leaving many dead. Dr. Ben Verdyx, employed in the Vatican’s Secret Archives, is taken from the street, unsure what his captors have in mind. Dr. Angelina Calla, a tour guide in the city, is also taken, from another part of the city, and ushered off to the same mysterious location. It is only when they come face to face that their past connection becomes apparent. Calla was a doctoral student whose expertise in Akkadian, a dead language from Babylonia, and Verdyx is fluent as well, perhaps the only two who can help with the current conundrum that has hit the news. Swiss Guards have been sent to keep Calla and Verdyx contained as a mysterious tablet has been unearthed. Written entirely in Akkadian, the tablet speaks of a number of prophecies set to befall the area, the first of which is the river of blood. While Calla seeks to parse through the rest of the message, she becomes aware that Verdyx seems less surprised by the message. Might he have something to do with all of these goings-on? Meanwhile, the narrative explores a group of men, headed by a Belgian tough-guy, who seem to be plotting a way to bring attention to the vulnerability of the Church and susceptible aspects of the general public. Working together, they may be able to meet their final goal in short order, as long as nothing goes awry. With each hour, more of the prophecies comes to pass, leaving Calla and Verdyx to wonder if the seventh, and ultimate, prophecy will occur, which forebodes great evil. Fox pulls on his vast knowledge of the Vatican and surrounding area to fan the flames and add an element of suspense. Crime thriller lovers who can stomach some religious intrigue will surely enjoy this, particularly if they have raved about Fox’s previous series.
There is nothing like reading a book that seeks to poke even more holes into what has become a teetering foundation. While I respect much of the Catholic Church, many of its solemn aspects have taken a beating, as well as its secrecy. Fox seeks to dispel them and add his own mocking undertone, though respectfully. Calla and Verdyx prove to be two interesting, and yet different, characters. Fox does offer some backstory to them both, revealed at different times in the novel. The Akkadian connection is surely the primary aspect that ties them, but it is their teamwork that seems to work well. I hoped Fox would not turn things too sugary and find that the time they spend together turns romantic and therefore becomes a hero story. The reader can decide what they think about this as the chapters flow. The secondary characters, specifically those who have an ulterior motive, prove to be decent, though I glossed over much of their storyline, finding it weak and less than compelling. The evildoers need not be cackling in the background, but I like to see some bloodthirstiness or diabolical endgame. I found things a little too predictable for me. The story has interesting aspects, though I felt it a little clunky as well. Without giving away too much, while I enjoyed the tablet and prophecies, revealed only by those who can speak this ancient and long-dead language, the flip side left me feeling that things were a little too cat and mouse. Fox has a great premise here and could surely have worked hard to foster a stronger connection with the race to reveal (with his two experts), but it seemed to be more a ‘wait and see, then panic’ situation than ‘try to stop it beforehand’. Again, perhaps I am being overly critical, but I felt the story kept me interested just more than superficially, devoured more because Fox can write and propel things than the content. Will Vatican conspiracists rush to read this book and enjoy the outcome? Perhaps, but I think it is more a social commentary on the direction of religious trust and faith in this time of individual thought. Could a series of plagues be awaiting those who do not trust entirely in the Church? I suppose only time will tell!
Kudos, Mr. Fox, for this entertaining piece. I will surely read more that you write, when that day comes. I like your enthusiasm for all things Vatican and your style does hold a certain allure.

Enjoyable mystery thriller set in present day Rome. 3.5 stars.
June 21, 2018
I think my rating is less than 3 stars but not 2 either. When I read the summary, I expected so much more. What I got isn't even half as much as I expected. I've read Tom Fox's first novel Dominus and it was so good, I really liked it. It was a genuine thriller written in an exceptionally good way. The Seventh Commandment seemed as if he was writing for the first time. It was like a backward process - first, a very good book, then such a bad one. And I'm definitely disappointed since I received the book for an honest review from the publishers in my native language.
Overall the book is lame. Hells, even before reaching the hundredth page I already knew more than half of the so-called "conspiracy" because I was told everything. When I read a thriller I expect it to be excitement, action, suspense, anticipation... Here I felt like reading a report or a student book learning a lesson. Everything was stated, as a matter of fact, no excitement or anything at all. A bit of action not to be too lame and it was it.
I also got annoyed at the writing and switching of view. Not as literal points of views but describing what's going on with the different characters. It was annoying because he did it all the time and due to this the chapters were so short and switching between characters all along. I don't like too long chapters either but why make a hundred tiny chapters or twenty enormous instead of fifty normal for example?
Another thing I did not like in the book was the main characters. Ben Verdyx is so antisocial, he works in the Vatican archives and hardly ever has contacts with people. I imagined him as a skinny bookworm who is more than awkward around people. Hells, in the beginning, the social contact made him almost sick so suddenly he became so calm in public and everything? I don't even know how old he's supposed to be. I always thought he's middle-aged but he's supposed to be young? And the sudden description of a well-kept body hidden beneath conservative clothes? So what, the highly antisocial archivist goes fitness? You really got to be kidding me. Not to mention his name and the comparison I couldn't help but make. Ben, short of Benedict, what a coincidence the main character in another thriller series I love is called the same. Unlikely this one, Ben Hope is a whole different story - he's badass, he's one-man army and where he's there's always something interesting happening. Now, that's the thriller I was talking about. And Angelina Calla... I simply couldn't place here. It was supposed to be a mystery both of them to unsolve but... kind of lost the point somewhere in the report.
So, where was the whole point of the book? A report? A stupid theft? What?! This is one of the worst thrillers I've ever read! This seven predictions or prophecies, whatever you decided to call them, are a bluff. At least, the part with the volcano reminds me of a movie I've watched before, Volcano and it's pretty interesting. Maybe I'll rewatch it again, so I'll have something more entertaining to do. So now, I'll make a correction and I'm giving this book two stars. It doesn't deserve the third one which I usually give to books that I don't mind but I don't very much like either. So honestly, I wouldn't recommend the book, it's simply a waste of time. Instead of intrigued and excited, I was so bored. As I say in such cases, reading my History book would be much more pleasant activity and more intriguing and exciting one too!

Изключително субективно, но едно определено нещо ме издразни. Много. Може и да хубава книгата, но аз я спрях на 17%. И няма да я дочета.

When the River Tiber starts to flow red, the people of Rome are fascinated and scared. When two individuals find themselves shot at, chased and eventually rescued by the Swiss Guard they realise that something is drastically wrong. Ben Verdyx and Angelina Calla are two of the few experts in the ancient Sumerian language, Akkadian, and a tablet has been found in Rome written in Akkadian and predicting a series of events that will befall the city. As the second and then third predictions come to pass, it seems that the prophecies are true but maybe they are just a cover for something a little more prosaic.
Tom Fox is an expert in Church history and is now hitting his stride as a writer of conspiracy thrillers in the mode of Dan Brown. That is no bad thing as, derided as Brown's work is, they are hugely entertaining, fast-moving stories. Far superior to his first book, Dominus, this story has a couple of engaging leads, a convoluted but clever plot and a real sense of knowledge about Rome, the Catholic Church and ancient civilisations.

This is a fast paced story, set in the heart of the Roman Catholic world---Rome and the Vatican City State.
Two scholars in ancient texts are living and working in Rome. One works as a tour guide and the other works in the Vatican's Secret Archive. Both have knowledge of an ancient and little known language, Akkadian. A new tablet with cuneiform on it is discovered in an archaeological dig and is lodged in the Vatican for verification. Ben and Angelina are consulted prior to the tablet's existence being revealed, as the Curia want to be sure of the validity of the artefact.
The tablet, along with an almost perfect translation, is released to the general public. The group of charismatic Catholics that Ben belongs to hails it as a set of prophecies and believe in its authenticity. However, their newest member, Laurence, has leaked snippets from the text the day before the tablet's discovery is announced. Ben is also aware of some of the information.
The tablet states that there will be several plagues that will come to pass. The first is that the person who first discovers it will die quite nastily. This happens. The second plague is that the river Tiber will turn blood red, then there will be fog. After this, the sun will be blocked out, then there will be an earthquake and the firstborn son will die where he stands. All these prophesies come to pass over a three day period.
Ben and Angelina are chased through the streets of Rome and shot at. They are 'rescued' by the Swiss Guard and interrogated. The two scholars are allowed to leave the Swiss Guard HQ and are subsequently tracked around Rome and Vatican City until they link back up with the Swiss Guard with new information as to what is going on.
The man behind the plan is a sacked former employee at the Secret Archive. He not only wants revenge, but he wants what not many people know about--vast riches, hidden underneath the streets of the Vatican City State. But he hasn't factored Ben, Angelina and the Swiss Guard into the equation. He has also forgotten the Seventh Commandment---Thou shalt not steal.
A book that will keep you fascinated from the first page till the last one. Full of historical, geographical and religious information and a plot with many twists and turns.

3,5 *
Esta é uma história que, para mim como leitora, teria todos os ingredientes para me cativar, mas acabou por ficar um pouco aquém do que esperei pela sinopse...
Em relação ao enredo, faltou a adrenalina que o autor prometia, pois apesar de tudo se desenrolar em questão de poucos dias, tive sempre a sensação de que entre os vários acontecimentos já tinha passado uma eternidade...
Já as personagens principais, posso dizer que me identifiquei bastante com a forma de pensar de Angelina Calla sobre a religião, e a de Ben Vordyx sobre o que é ser arquivista e todo o universo que um arquivo encerra em si, porque também eu partilho com ele a mesma profissão...
(...)um gabinete que era o seu oásis no presente e um portal para o passado. Ali, as únicas vozes que falavam consigo eram as que emanavam das palavras há muito silenciadas dos mortos, e os únicos sons que perturbavam a sua paz eram os proferidos pela sua imaginação imbuída em História - os sons de cascos de cavalos a percorrer as rotas comerciais já batidas entre a Ásia e a Europa, no século XIV, ou o sinistro som metálico de 600 espadas numa falange romana no século III, ou a voz calma e serena de um poeta a declamar versos áticos num anfiteatro cheio de ouvintes gregos fascinados 500 anos antes.
E é, principalmente, pela linha de pensamento das personagens e por alguns factos históricos que encontramos na história que avalio este livro de forma positiva.

I have waited for this book for so long. It took me ages to find anyone who would have it in stock and shipping to the UAE, so I was super excited when I started. I loved his other book so much that I couldn't wait to read it as soon as it was out of the delivery box. It was good, but maybe not as exciting as Dominus. An ancient tablet written in Akkadian, a lost language from Mesopotamia that only a handful of people can translate, is found underneath Rome. And it contains seven prophecies. Though it will turn out to be a huge scam, Emil, fired years ago from the Secret Archives of the Vatican, has made his life purpose ever since to seek revenge. And thanks to years of meticulous planning, conjures this tablet and its seven commandments to become true, forcing Rome to its knees for 4 days. His ultimate objective: empty the secret vault of the Vatican, full of gold and silver and only known to a few. But thanks to the only two people in Rome that understand Akkadian, and with the help of the Swiss Guards, he will be discovered and stopped.

Very Dan Brown!
When predictions, in an obscure document held deep within the Vatican, manifest 2 disparate, amateur heroes will find themselves in the crosshairs!
Ben & Angelina are experts in the ancient Sumerian language of Akkadian, two of the few people on the planet who could decipher the text on the document. Is it coincidence that they both find themselves near to the Tiber when it begins to flow red like blood. Or that they are then shot at?
But is an apocalypse on the horizon or is something all together less esoteric afoot?
Very entertaining and even from view point as a non religious person, I still find the history of religion, iconography and the newly emerging hunt for the real stories behind the Bible are very interesting.

Not a bad read but I found it difficult to get into, jumping around different time lines locations and characters made for a very disjointed start. I’m glad I persisted though as the book progressed I enjoyed it more and more. The finale was a little weird but just going along with the story and not over analysing things is probably the way to go. I think I’ve had my fill of Dan Brown style thrillers for the moment - time for a change of scene

Totally captured my attention from start to finish.Fast paced, intriguing and fascinating in its description and setting. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
I am a fan of Dan Brown and Simon Toyne and now also of Tom Fox. Looking forward to reading more.

Не мога да довърша тази книга- От резюмето имах съвсем различни очаквания. Мислех, че ще наподобява книгите на Дан Браун - но не. Имам много проблеми със самата история, героите и тн.
Опитах се на няколко пъти да я довърша но не се получава :(

Имаше нещо, което ми липсваше в книгата, заразлика от другата на Том Фокс. Може би елемента на мистерията донякъде се губеше. Като цяло историята беше добра и беше написана по добър начин, читателя би могъл и да научи нещо ново от "Седмата заповед".

I look forward to reading more of toms books.

An enjoyable romp. Rather Dan Brown but nowhere near as good.

A great read and fast paced thriller for the modern times. This thriller is set in a modern day Rome but brings with it all the history and excitement of this city, with a great plot that keeps the pages turning.

Não recomendo , nem sei como tive " coragem" de o acabar. Personagens sem graça e mal construídas , um enredo simples com um fio condutor muito básico.

very Dan Brown coded. if you enjoyed The Davinci Code, then you'll enjoy this.
