'The secret of the Druids' by Christopher C. Doyle. This book is published by Westland in 2016 and has 422 pages. This is Book 2 of Mahabharata Quest series.
Semiramis, the Assyrian queen, who conquered most of Middle East and Asia, was defeated in India. But she retrieved what she came looking for. 'The Order' is after the secret for 2000 years. 'Task force' is out to stop them. Vijay remembers seeing blue prints of Stone Henge and other such structures in the Library of Nine.
How is that possible? What secret did Semiramis retrieve? Who are the Lords of Light? Did Julius Cesare burn the Library of Alexandria? What is the connection between Druids and Vedic people?
The story is interesting. Present day part happens in UK and Semiramis and Julius Caesare's stories happen in Europe and Asia, 4000 and 2000 years ago respectively.
Caesare got three coins minted from Cleopatra with a specific purpose. They were found in Inverness. The treasure is in Orkney islands north of Inverness. Vijay understands functioning of the weapon whereas the orders doesn't.
A number of inferences are derived by conjuncture. In the book, all of them turn out to be correct, but there is an equal possibility of all of them being wrong. The logic and ground appears shaky. Mystery of Radha's body is still unresolved. Looks like it will be taken up in the next book.
Author has provided Photos and illustrations to explain the stone henge, mounds, ditches, hives etc. This was very helpful in comprehension. It was a positive point.
Although there is a mini prequel to this book (see my book review of 'The secret revealed'), it's contents are covered in this book anyway, making the prequel redundant.
Why did I read this book? Mahabharata quest series.
What I didn't like? Conjuncture.
What did I like? Logic.
