While this sounds interesting in a Da Vinci Code kind of way, I’m not sure if I’m up for a thriller with a conspiracy theory at its core, even if it seems to be one that the author created for this book based on an interesting fact about a historical figure. I’ve heard far too much about far too many conspiracy theories lately, many incredibly outlandish and yet one too many people take them seriously. So, even though the book itself sounds like it would be a fun read, I have maxed out on this subject matter for now. Maybe when I’m not so conspiracy-drained. Thank you for the helpful review, though.

This sounds like a good book that warns humanity of the paths not to be followed while keeping them absorbed in a world of wonders away from reality. I too had little knowledge of the fact that Newton was so into religion. So I can't wait to see what the genius had thought.
I'll be getting my hands on this book as soon as all the " to read books" a have at present are read. :techie-studyingbrown: :techie-studyingbrown:

This seems to be quite an interesting read with themes of history, religion, and suspense, and I like how the author has managed to combine these together to create something so insightful. Thank you for the detailed review.

This is quite an interesting storyline; cults, alchemy, second coming. Sounds like a great book.
I enjoyed reading your review.

This is a very unique mystery thriller with religious fanatics and Isaac Newton a Bible reader.

The name really leans readers toward believing it is like the Divinci Code, but what I really love about it is that there is an internal battle and change happening in the main character, to the point that you understand how people attach themselves to a charismatic leader, even if their plans are evil. I really appreciated Liam Fialkov's work in that respect.
