Recenzii
Nelson
DeMille
wrote
THE
QUEST
nearly
40
years
ago.
It
has
been
fully
rewritten,
showcasing
this
masterful
author's
historical
knowledge,
understanding
of
the
human
psyche,
and
matchless
entertainment
skills.
The
novel
crosses
genres
with
its
spiritualism,
wit,
adventure
and
romance,
not
to
mention
gripping
action.
Full
of
DeMille's
characteristic
---
and
unparalleled
---
humor
and
intelligence,
THE
QUEST
delivers.
Boy,
does
it
deliver.
Nelson DeMille is at the absolute peak of his powers in "The Quest" (Center Street, 464 pages, $26) an epic tale that's broad in both scope and vision, harkening back to his earlier masterworks such as "The Charm School" and "By the Rivers of Babylon" as it brings the action in Africa of the mid-1970s. That's where an old priest named Father Armando emerges from a bombed-out prison after decades in captivity with the location of nothing less than the Holy Grail tucked in his mind.
From
there,
staged
against
the
backdrop
of
the
endless
Ethiopian
civil
war,
the
quest
of
the
title
begins
in
search
of
it,
undertaken
by
a
trio
of
intrepid
journalists
(well,
two
plus
a
photographer),
including
the
hard-bitten
and
hard-driving
Frank
Purcell,
who's
standing
in
for
DeMille's
redoubtable
John
Corey
this
time
out.
Purcell
becomes
our
Robert
Langdon
as
the
book
takes
on
the
texture
and
feel
of
Dan
Brown
at
his
level
best,
chock
full
of
mysticism,
murderous
monks,
deadly
assassins,
and
vengeful
natives
all
on
a
quest
to
either
find
the
Grail
or
make
sure
its
secrets
remain
hidden
forever.
This
is
adventure
on
the
grandest
of
scales
and
richest
of
tapestries,
Wilbur
Smith
and
Fredrick
Forsythe
rolled
into
one
with
some
Indian
Jones
tossed
in
for
good
measure.
A
masterpiece
fashioned
by
a
storyteller
who
simply
has
no
rival.
