This is my first book from J. Kent Holloway... and it most certainly will NOT be my last!
The action starts off with King Solomon (you know, ancient Jewish king, Son of David, Solomon's Temple, all that jazz) thirsting for knowledge - and nearly paying for it with his life.
Several centuries later, during the Crusades, a new man - Baron Gregory - seeks the same knowledge. He has been sent to Jerusalem, blessed by the Vatican with the mission of finding the Urim and Thummim... except that isn't why he's really in Jerusalem.
As he nears completion of his actual goal, a specter begins showing up and kidnapping his men. Those few who see it and remain to tell the tale speak of a living shadow that smells of brimstone. They call it... The Djinn, based on Saracen/ Muslim folklore of spirit beings between humans and angels.
What is The Djinn? What is its goal? You'll just have to read the book to find out. Well paced with lots of intrigue and action, as I noted in the title of this review, this is a book you REALLY don't want to put down!
*Note: I received my copy of the book free from the author (who happens to also be the publisher) in exchange for an honest review.
