A review by melissasbookshelf
Lost King by H. B. Moore

4.0

Liked this second book in the Omar Zagouri series. This is sort of a cross between the Da Vinci code and Indiana Jones. In this book, Omar must thwart an attempt to blackmail the world's leading religions after a scroll is found that disputes Moses and the 10 commandments. The fictional account of an ambitious real female pharaoh is told side by side with two modern stories. It's full of action and romance.

Spoiler

My only criticism is that the blackmail plot sort of fizzled at the end. It was never really explained why everyone was okay with the scroll at the end when Ellis thought he could blackmail the world religions in the first place. It seemed like there were only two real "commandments" that were contained in the scroll.

Despite my criticisms, I like this series and will definitely read the next book.
