"After a promising start detailing the 1970s scientific exploration of the Shroud of Turin, this book devolves into what seems to random episodes scattered throughout the world and not pertaining to what the book is supposed to be about. The idea of a human being cloned from the blood found on the Shroud of Turin, who may or may not be a clone of Christ, is inredibly interesting, but this is not dealt with for most of the book. Rather, we get a lot of political manuevering between countries and politictians, with the clone in the background until near the end. When the clone does start to do stuff, it seems like it's an afterthought. This book is also rather annoying to the degree that over thirty years take place, with huge gaps in the narrative. It'll be cooking along with an interesting part of the story and then the chapter ends, with the new chapter saying "13 years later," or some such number. I'm still wondering what happened to one particular character which we left off in the middle of the book and haven't seen since! Some really important things are glossed over with throwaway lines or descriptions (the clone's awakening to who he may be, for exmaple, is told to us, rather than shown us, and is therefore weaker for it). The gaps are annoying because we don't get to see the characters having to deal with the problems they're encountering as they're happening. We get "ten years later" and the ramifications of what happened, but not the actual even. It's as if the author was trying to get as much as he could into the first book in case the others in the series didn't get picked up for publishing. This one volume could have been carried over into at least two and fleshed out the charactes and situations that are glossed over. Still, the idea is sufficiently intriguing and the ending interesting enough for me to pick up the next one and see if it gets better."
