(From Amazon) SOLOMON'S SEAL SEES THE LONG AWAITED RETURN OF THE OGMIOS TEAM "It would appear that a ring has surfaced and the right people believe that it could well be Solomon’s Seal. Regardless of supposed magical powers it would certainly be the oldest surviving example of the Star of David, meaning a lot of people with a lot of money would want to get their hands on it. People from both sides of the divide.” Orla knew only too well what he was talking about when he said the divide; Arabs and Israelis; Jews and Muslims. Each would want it for their own, but more importantly, they would want it so that it couldn’t fall into the hands of their enemies. Fanatics on both sides would rather see the thing destroyed than have it fall into the other’s possession. "As much as the ring’s supernatural powers are of no consequence when belief comes into things, it is whether or not people believe that this is Solomon’s Seal. If they do, then to them, that’s exactly what it is.” “And that makes it worth killing for,” Konstantin said flatly. “Exactly.” Sir Charles agreed. “And it isn’t as though people need any more excuses for that,” the Irish man, Ronan Frost spoke up for the first time. Frost, it seemed, had taken on the strong silent archetype Konstantin had left behind. “If the Jews and the Arabs believe this thing is genuine… it doesn’t bear thinking about,” Orla said. Too many wars had been fought with religion as an excuse; always an excuse, but rarely a reason. Even most of the wars that had been fought in the Middle East were about land when it came right down to it. Land or oil. With the discovery of the long lost Seal—real or not—Konstantin and Orla find themselves in Jerusalem and Palestine fighting for their lives in a desperate race to stop all hell breaking lose. They don't know who they can trust. They don't know which way to turn next. All they know is they have to find the Seal and divert the detonation of a dirty bomb at one of Jerusalem's most holy sights in the process. "The mix of history, suspense, and action in Silver perfect for those DaVinci Code fans looking for another electrifying read combining Biblical history with modern-day Armageddon." — Douglas Preston, NYT Bestselling author of IMPACT and BLASPHEMY "With Silver, Steven Savile delivers a barn storming tale of action, intrigue and suspense in a plot laced with ancient secrets and modern terror." —Matt Hilton, author of the the Joe Hunter thrillers. "Silver is a cracker of a thriller. Savile's in a league of his own" —Jeremy Duns, author of FREE AGENT and FREE COUNTRY. "Reminiscent of James Rollins and David Morrell." —Joseph Nassise, international bestselling author of the TEMPLAR CHRONICLES. "Fascinating, gripping, horrific, tragic and compelling." — Steve Alten, NYT Bestselling author of MEG and THE SHELL GAME "SILVER is a wild combination of Indiana Jones, The Da Vinci Code, and The Omen." — Kevin J Anderson, international bestselling author of THE SAGA OF SEVEN SUNS and co-author of PAUL OF DUNE Silver was the first in an on-going series of adventures built around the Ogmios Team, and has been published in the US, Spain, Poland, France, Turkey and Germany in hardcover. It reached #2 on Amazon UK and was in the Top 30 Bestselling Ebooks of 2011 as published by The Bookseller in the UK. Solomon's Seal is not a direct sequel to Silver, it takes place during the same timeline, featuring the same characters, but stands alone. It focuses on events that happened to Orla Nyrén during her time in Jenin and offers a new side to the Russian, Konstantin Khavin as he struggles to save her. Gold, Silver's sequel, will follow early in 2013. Between now and then WARGOD and THE PROPHET two more background novels will be released by Steve and collaborators Sean Ellis and Rick Chesler.
