Description

The startling, frighteningly convincing sequel to The Holy Blood and the Holy Grailthat reveals the very nature of the Messianic Legacy.

The ominous global conspiracy of disinformations they uncovered ensures that The Messianic Legacyus an up-to-the-minute thriller and a work of biblical detection that is even more significant than The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail.… (more)

A good continuation of their first book, Baigent, Lincoln, and Leigh continue to try and get at the bottom of the Priory mystery, proving, without quite stating, that it is a load of bunk that may have hit on some truth.

The follow up to "The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail", "The Messianic Legacy" fails to reach the levels of interest that "The Holy Blood ..." did as the authors attempt to build on their thesis that there is a huge conspiracy led by some French bloke named Pierre Plantard to take over the world by

announcing that the direct descendant of Jesus was alive and kicking. Of course, the fact that ol’ Pierre subsequently confessed to making it all up takes some of the gloss of “The Messianic Legacy” and really the most interesting section has the authors describing the public feedback they got post-publication of “The Holy Blood …”, by which I mean the correspondence from complete and utter loonies they received. For some reason, the possibility that the direct descendant of Jesus is about to make himself known to the world brought out the loopers.

More pseudo-history behind "The DaVinci Code." Ho hum. Not much new. It is a pretty dated book.

More of the same from the "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" gang.
