Publisher Description
Eight days before the summer solstice, a man is butchered in a blood-freezing sacrifice on the ancient site of Stonehenge before a congregation of robed worshippers. Within hours, one of the world's foremost treasure hunters has shot himself in his country mansion. And to his estranged son, young archaeologist Gideon Chase, he leaves a cryptic letter. Teaming up with an intrepid policewoman, Gideon soon exposes a secret society—an ancient international legion devoted for thousands of years to Stonehenge.
With a charismatic and ruthless new leader at the helm, the cult is now performing ritual human sacrifices in a terrifying bid to unlock the secret of the stones. Packed with codes, symbology, relentless suspense, and fascinating detail about the history of one of the world's most mysterious places, The Stonehenge Legacy is a blockbuster to rival the very best of Dan Brown.

"Not the type of book I usually read however that being said it was easy to get into, delving straight into the story and slowly unravelling the mysteries. Both exciting and gripping, I couldn't put this book down. My only fault for it is that the conclusion was slightly abrupt and I felt there could of been a little more story like a more in depth detail of what happened to the characters after the catastrophic events. But then I didn't want the book to end! I believe this book would enjoyed by most as it's an easy read that tangles you up in it's mystery."

“Long-buried secrets, a dangerous cult, and lots of twists and turns. Sure to appeal to fans of Steve Berry and Dan Brown!”
— C. S. Graham, author of The Archangel Project -
“A creepily compelling tale that deftly mixes the near-Satanic activities of an ages-old pre-Christian cult with an entirely modern kidnap plot…This is one of those very rare books that is capable of both thrilling and chilling the reader.”
— James Becker, author of The Moses Stone
The Stonehenge Legacy Listener Reviews
-
" More readable than Dan Brown but plot even more unbelievable "
— Lynn, 2/13/2014 -
" Average thriller, a little light on historical detail, good build but I thought the ending came too quickly and not detailed enough. "
— Erin, 2/8/2014 -
" I've given up on this book. Tried 3 times to get into it and just couldn't get past chapter 4. "
— Beth, 1/17/2014 -
" Great book, that's verry addictive. Only ending is too short. It was quite dissapinting, that there was only couple of sentences about all characters. "
— Alise, 1/15/2014 -
" Good thriller if you ignore the Stonehenge mumbo jumbo "
— Howard, 1/14/2014 -
" I could not bring myself to finish it.... "
— Katia, 1/6/2014 -
" Fast paced, exciting and easy to read. I liked it a lot! "
— Helen, 1/4/2014 -
" I don't know how to rate this book, it somehow didn't fulfill it's potential. Plodded in places and for a secret society, it had a lot of members, and it was not exactly selective. I enjoyed it, a good fun read, but not original nor creative enough! "
— Chris, 1/1/2014 -
" Boring, nothing original, nothing interesting, the story is a kind of dull mainstream trying to benefit from attractive theme with no result anyway "
— Luce, 12/5/2013 -
" Pretty childish book. Smelled the plot a mile away. The poor man's adventure story. "
— Terrybisk, 11/25/2013 -
" Another of the 'secret society going back thousands of years' genre. However, the action all took place in the present and was a good read over a wet weekend. "
— Stuart, 7/24/2013 -
" This book was pretty exciting and it has some pretty interesting, made up theories which actually make a bit of sense "
— Robert, 6/16/2013 -
" An enjoyable read, interesting storyline and characters but there was just something missing for me. I liked the Stonehenge concept and the plot but as i said there was just something that was not there. Even i don't know what it was! Altho i would most definitely read San Christers other work. "
— George, 4/25/2013 -
" I enjoyed the story, listened to it on Audible on my way to and from the office. A reasonable paced story, but you could predict the plot and the characters. I enjoyed that I did not have to think to much to know what was going on. I will still aways enjoy books that involve Stonehenge. "
— Stephanie, 2/13/2013 -
" An enjoyable, gripping read. I live very close to the area so am now off to Imber in the next few days and am booking a special 'stone circle' visit to Stonehenge. Things I've always wanted to do and have now been inspired to get on and do them! "
— Sue, 11/9/2012 -
" An OK read, but certainly not at the level of the masters of the genre. "
— Steve, 10/17/2012 -
" fast paced and multi layered sub plots and felt myself hooked but the only disappointing part to me was the ending as if the author had ran out of ideas, says its dan brown style but felt it was more towards james rollins myself "
— Stephen, 9/12/2012 -
" I quite enjoyed the story. "
— Patti, 7/18/2012 -
" The book description is totally wrong. It was enjoyable "
— Marge, 5/12/2012 -
" Good story but a bit too violent and blood thirsty for me. "
— Trina, 12/7/2011 -
" OK, it's not a work of literature, but it's an entertaining if farfetched read. A bit of fun and certainly a page turner. "
— Philip, 10/31/2011 -
