The Devil Will Come
The Devil Will Come | Glenn Cooper
3 posts | 8 read | 1 reading | 4 to read
Elisabetta Celestino, a brilliant young archaeologist at work in Romes ancient catacombs, has discovered a unique pattern of astrological symbols on an underground wall. She feels sure that evidence of a previously unknown pre-Christian sect lies in an adjacent chamber, and is devastated when the Vatican refuses to support her excavation effort. Ten years later, a cave-in damages the vault, revealing a chamber full of human skeletons that share a disturbing anatomical feature. Elisabetta has joined an Augustinian order following the tragic end of her academic career, but unexpectedly finds herself in a race to solve the secret of the catacomb and prevent an apocalyptic event that threatens the future of humankind. Moving between present-day Europe, 1st-century Rome and Elizabethan England, The Devil Will Come is an exhilarating tale of a battle between the forces of good and evil that has been fought in the shadows through the centuries and across continentsand that both sides are willing to kill to keep secret.

First book finished for #20in4Readathon
What‘s not to like about a conspiracy theory, a religious battle, a Conclave to pick a new Pope and a story involving Nero, Saint Peter, Christopher Marlowe and John Dee.

So far at 10 hrs 15 mins for the Readathon.

Andrew65 @zguta That‘s an intriguing first sentence. 3y
zguta @Andrew65 it‘s a great novel - historical fiction In the Roman times, and a thrilling fast paced read - “The Sign of the Blood” by Lawrence O‘Bryan 3y
Andrew65 @zguta Love his books, I actually reviewed the third (and final ?) book in this series and need to go back and read books 1 and 2 as really enjoyed book 3. 3y

Kicking off the #20in4 Readathon by starting The Devil Will Come. Is this sensible reading late at night? 🤣🤭
