Most of you know at least about the films Born's Identity or Born's Revenge, which are based on books by this author. On this occasion, I present to you another of his excellent books, which is unfairly overshadowed by the franchise about Born
At the dawn of World War II, in the middle of the night in a Greek city, a line of monks embarks on a desperate mission: their task is to carry a vault that keeps the holiest of all secrets to a hiding place in the Italian Alps. Its contents, hidden from everyone for centuries, would cause a deadly rift in the Christian world. As the German army approaches, a relentless hunt begins, and in the whirlwind of war, every trace of the treasure guards is lost. Three decades later, the only man who knows anything about the precious relic is Vittorio Fontini-Cristi, an Italian living in America named Victor Fontin. Sensing that death is approaching, Victor leaves a secret that he kept all his life in a legacy to his sons, twins Adrian and Andrew. Brothers cannot be a greater opposition to each other, and the future of the world depends on which of them will be the first to reach the treasury…
Vecina vas je bar cula za filmove Bornov identitet ili Bornova osvta koji su radjeni po knjigama ovog autora. Ovom prilikom predstavqam vam jos jednu njegovu odlicnu knjigu koju nepravedno zasenjuje fransiza o Bornu.
U osvit Drugog svetskog rata, usred noći u jednom grčkom gradu, red monaha kreće u očajničku misiju: njihov zadatak je da prenesu trezor koji čuva najsvetiju od svih tajni do skrovišta u italijanskim Alpima.
Njegov sadržaj, vekovima skrivan od svih, izazvao bi smrtonosan razdor u hrišćanskom svetu. Dok se nemačka vojska približava, započinje nemilosrdan lov, a u ratnom vihoru gubi se svaki trag o čuvarima trezora.
Tri decenije kasnije, jedini čovek koji zna nešto o dragocenoj relikviji je Vitorio Fontini-Kristi, Italijan koji živi u Americi pod imenom Viktor Fontin. Predosećajući da mu se smrt približava, Viktor ostavlja tajnu koju je celog života čuvao u zaveštanje svojim sinovima, blizancima Adrijanu i Endruu. Braća ne mogu biti veća suprotnost jedan drugom, a budućnost sveta zavisi od toga koji će od njih prvi stići do trezora…
