Secret of the Seventh Son
Library of the Dead [International Edition]
Praise
"One of the best-constructed novels I've read in my over 14 years as a book critic. Glenn Cooper deserves to be more successful than Dan Brown"
— Antonio D'Orrico, Corriere della Sera Magazine, Italy
"Glenn Cooper's Secret of the Seventh Son marks the debut of a startling new talent. Here is a story both incandescent and explosive. A seamless blend of modern-day thriller and historical mystery with an ending that left me breathless. A debut not to be missed."
— James Rollins, Bestselling Author of The Last Oracle and The Judas Strain
“Glenn Cooper's Secret of the Seventh Son is a gripping revisit of the ancient battle between Free Will and Predestination: a dangerous secret, sought across three simultaneous time zones: Britain's early Christian era, Churchill's post-war Iron Curtain, and today's ‘Area 51’ -- a mysterious unmarked spot in the remote Nevada desert. The hidden secret behind the ‘Secret’ raises the unsettling spectre that what we imagine is freedom might be part of an all-encompassing -- and terrifying -- plan.”
— Katherine Neville, Bestselling Author of The Eight and The Fire
“A serial killer religious conspiracy thriller with a fabulous paperback original package. It is my tip for the biggest debut of the year.”
— Jonathan Ruppin – Bookseller (UK) – 2009 Paperback Preview
