Steve Berry: The Third Secret

Steve Berry has written several books in the same general vein as The Da Vinci Code, thrillers with references to real world art, architecture and history woven around the shadowy semihistory of conspiracy theories. The Third Secret is a bit different. Rather than the more common conspiracies involving Masons, Templars or the Illuminati, Berry posits a conspiracy in the Roman Catholic Church to cover up a part of the Third Secret of Fatima. Fans of the DaVinci Code may appreciate the suspense and style of writing, but don't hold your breath for any well researched insights into historical/religious events. The doctrinal plot premise is created out of whole cloth. (Read after the cut if you need to know more, but be aware it's a plot spoiler.)

Harold Lamb: Cyrus the Great

Cyrus the Great is Harold Lamb's narrative of the life of the King of Persia who conquered the Medes, Lydians and Babylonians and marched into those mysterious lands to the east forging the largest empire of the time. Some of the book is, of course, informed speculation about everything from Cyrus's childhood to his motivations as an adult. The book was originally written in 1960 and I have a 1976 printing from Pinnacle Books. Lamb wrote an entire series of history and historical fiction books, writing mostly between World War I and II, on historical figures from Genghis Khan to Alexander the Great. At the time I bought this one, I missed the opportunity to buy about a dozen others of his works at The Book Barn and have been kicking myself ever since. I check the shelves every time I'm there, but these books are really hard to come by. In searching Amazon, I did come across good news - no great news - a few of his books, such as Genghis Khan or the Emperor of All Men, are being reprinted and his book Hannibal: One Man Against Rome is available as an MP3 CD or digital MP3 download
