"The Da Vinci Code" meets "The English Patient" in this thrilling new novel by Oregon author, Kyla Merwin. Unravel the mysteries of early Christianity as three daring friends search the remote and mysterious landscapes of 1947 Egypt--unveiling the most controversial archaeological discovery in 2,000 years. In their search for the lost Gnostic Gospels, the intrepid adventurers confront religious zealots charged with destroying the manuscripts, a clan of feuding tribesmen bent on blood revenge, a conniving billionaire demanding the promised secrets of endless power, an obsessed agent of the Egyptian government, and their own deepest fears. The Lost Codex is the story of danger, love, betrayal and choice. It's a journey though the fears and ecstasies of the human spirit, and a search for the most controversial religious material of the twentieth century.
Kyla Merwin has been a freelance writer since 1994, with regional and national credits to her name.
KMC Media Co. recently released Kyla's new novel, "The Lost Codex of the Christian Heretics," which offers a dramatic and compelling new interpretation of the life and messages of Jesus of Nazareth.
But the dialogue seemed more modern than stated. The female character wasn't likeable, but she was interesting. Nonstop action, unsavory characters, Egyptian adventure made it a fun read even though it stretches the imagination.
