ceoln reviewed The Da Vinci legacy by Lewis Perdue
Review of 'The Da Vinci legacy' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
This would be an obvious ripoff of The Da Vinci Code, except that it was written first. The reader may draw their own conclusion, or for extra fun read the various websites and postings and comment threads and lawsuits real and threatened on the subject, as found in your favorite search engine. Doing that might in fact be more entertaining than either of the books! :)
This is an average airplane-reading potboiler about evil orders of Catholic (or faux Catholic) priests bent on world domination, lost secrets of Leonardo, car chases, assassinations, a plucky tough guy who overcomes all odds to save the world and get the girl, impossible escapes, implausibly flammable buildings, and so forth. The writing isn't unbearably bad, and the pacing is fine. Also lots of cool Italian placenames and stuff.
