Description A search for a priceless artifact stolen from the Second Temple in Jerusalem becomes a race against time, terrorism, politics, and the past. Jonathan Marcus is a promising young archeologist studying at the American Academy in Rome when a terrible accident results in a fellow student’s death and Jonathan’s expulsion. He abandons archeology for the law, becoming a skillful advocate for unscrupulous antiquities dealers. When Jonathan’s firm sends him to Rome to discredit the testimony of a prominent U.N. antiquities official, a chance reunion leads to a hunt for the legendary Tabernacle Menorah: solid gold, eight feet high, stolen 2,000 years ago and never recovered. As Jonathan and his friend scour Rome’s ancient sites for hints to its whereabouts, they quickly realize they are not alone and the precious menorah is a key to controlling history itself.
Insightful reviews Ausma: full of surprises, adventures and history. worth reading Alan: If you hate it when an author thinks that they have to infuse their characters with constant blue streaks of swearing to sell a book, then you'll like this one. Daniel Levin has created an engaging action adventure that develops characters, takes you to interesting places above and below the ground in Jerusalem and Rome, and spins a tale that you will enjoy through the last page of the book. While I don't really care that much which expensive brand of shoe a particular character is wearing, I did appreciate the fact that Levin didn't fall into the somewhat tiresome cliche of having ex-special forces people being the lead characters. There is, of course, a pair of handsome and beautiful characters, and Levin will keep you guessing which of the many characters that come and go are protagonists and which are antagonists. I thoroughly enjoyed the tale Levin tells. I was amazed at the description and action that takes place in ancient, underground Rome. If you like readable, clean fiction that has all kinds of twists and turns, then you will enjoy this tale of archeological and religious intruige. This is a book that I feel good about recommending to all of my friends.

Fiction-mystery, thriller, suspense, history, conspiracy 415 pages September/October 2009 Review for Bookpleasures Reviewer-Michelle Kaye Malsbury, BSBM, MM Review Daniel Levin, author of The Last Ember, is a graduate of the University of Michigan (BA) Roman and Greek civilizations and Harvard University Law School. (Inside cover, 2009) Background for this book comes from his clerking for the Supreme Court in Israel where he was part of the research and legal teams charged with prosecuting those who performed illegal excavations in Jerusalem and Rome. (Insert) He practices international law and lives with his physician wife in New York City. For more information about this special author please log on to his personal web site at www.daniellevin.com. The main character of this book, Jonathan Marcus, shares many parallels with the author in that he is also an expert in Roman and Greek history with a law degree working for an international firm charged with defending the excavations of some unscrupulous and devious people with tentacles that criss-cross the globe and are backed by terror monies. Mr. Marcus’ firm does not know of this dark secret, but soon gets caught up in the fray. Mr. Marcus is called back to Rome, from New York, where he meets his ex-love interest, Dr. Emili Travia. Dr. Travia and Mr. Marcus are on opposing sides of this important case. She works for the U.N. as a preservationist. Dr. Travia believes that Jon has become a different man than the one she met and fell in love with seven long years ago. Back then he was passionate about archeology and preserving history. Now he is defending those very things that he knew were wrong during his more passionate days. Jonathan is out to prove Emili wrong. Together they piece together a tale of international intrigue that began as Mr. Marcus doctoral dissertation and ended up as a major plot to unearth and smuggle the “Tabernacle Menorah” out of the Temple Mount where it is suspected to have been hidden for the past two-thousand years. The plot takes many twists and turns as various characters attempt to follow the clues and historical data to their logical conclusions. Many people lose their lives trying to locate this international religious treasure because those with darker interests in this historic relic will not stop short of actually having it. It is impossible to know who is on the take and part of this massive deception and who Jon and Emili can actually trust to help them determine if the clues and historical data actually lead to the location of the “Tabernacle Menorah”. It is a race against time. Jonathan and Emili narrowly miss being killed themselves, but their romantic bonds end up stronger than ever before because the circle of trust is so small and they must be able to count on one another to get to the right people who can help thwart this dastardly plan and save the “Tabernacle Menorah” from falling into the wrong hands. This book was a regular page turner. I could not put it down because I was hungry to learn more and see what would happen next. It is steeped in history, mystery, and religious overtones that enlighten, entertain, and enrapt you, the reader. Daniel Levin writes from the same thrilling and knowledgeable perspective that Dan Brown does and I see no reason this book should not become an international bestseller.
Truly: Dan Brown bersiap-siapkah menghadapi saingan baru!Apa yang akan anda rasakan saat menemukan mayat dengan rajahan tulisan di tubuhnyaAtau saat menjelajah lorong di bawah tanah dalam ketakutan akan bahaya yang mengancan menemukan tulisan dinding?Atau mendadak dipanggil untuk menghadiri sebuah pertemuan dan menemukan diri berada dekat dengan jawaban yang selama sekian lama dicari?Perasaan seperti itulah yang menyelimuti diri Jonathan Marcus, seorang pengacara muda, mantan mahasiswa application doktor di bidang studi klasik dan penerima Penghargaan Roma. Ketelitiannya serta ketertarikannya pada sebuah hal membuatnya berada dalam stuasi yang sulit. Situasi kian bertambah sulit karena ia harus berurusan dengan Dr. Emili Travia seorang ahli pelestarian PBB yang bersemangat tinggi, juga seseorang dari masa lalu.Kisah tujuh sapi gemuk dan sapi kurus juga bisa ditemukan dalam buku ini . Dalam buku ini diceritakan bahwa mimpi itu diartikan bawa setelah tujuh tahun mengalami masa subur, negara akan mengalami tujuh tahun masa kelaparan, untuk itu mereka harus bersiap-siap sejak masa makmur. Itu makna tujuh sapi gemuk berdiri berdampingan dengan tujuh sapi kurus.Buku ini menggambarkan segala situasi dan lokasi dengan rinci. Sehingga Saat membaca buku ini, aku merasa berada dalam sebuah lorong bawah tanah yang sesak karena kurang udara dan bau kelembapan yang menyengat hidung. Tanpa sadar, aku menarik napas panjang..., maklum pengindap penyakit asma he he he. Naluri membuatku menarik napas panjang guna menghindari rasa sesak yang mungkin datang.Namun saya juga bisa tertawa lepas saat membaca kisah di halaman 411-412. Membayangkan wajah para jemaat yang kaget serta betapa tenangnya mereka berdua berjalan sungguh selingan yang menyegarkan!Buku ini bagi saya terdiri dari dua bagian besar. Bagian pertama sungguh melelahkan, karena berisi adegan kerja-kejaran ala teroris, setiap detik berarti kian dekat dengan jawaban yang di cari plus kian terancam nyawanya. Bagian kedua, beberapa bab kebelakangan, berisi banyak penjelasan yang semula di awal cerita masih kabur.Bagi saya yang kurang menyenangi pelajaran sejarah, tentunya sedikit sulit melihat apa hubungan suatu peristiwa dengan yang lain. Semuanya seakan kabur, baru belakangan saya mulai mengerti apa hubungan sebuah peristiwa dengan yang lainnya, apa yang melandasi sebuah peristiwa serta apa efek dari sebuah peristiwa.Mununtaskan buku ini tidak membutuhkan waktu lama, namun sepertinya untuk membuat sebuah reviu lebih sulit, karena semua halaman, setiap kalimat sama menarik dan menegangkannya. Dan yang pasti banyak kejutan seru!Tapi terlepas dri kekurangan yang ada, buku ini mengajak kita mengelilingi dunia arkeologi yang menarik ditambah dengan peranan pustakwan . Merasakan panas matahari yang menyengat di Timur Tengah, kelebapan di bawah tanah , mengagumi peninggalan kebesaran Kerajaan Romawi Kuno serta berurusan dengan laut Merah yang terbelah!Ducunt volentem Fata, nolentem thahuntIkuti takdirmu, karena mereka akan tetap menyeretmu ke sanaSekedar Peringatan, tidak cocok untuk penderita gangguan jantung ^_^ Titas (Emperor): “That, my friends, used to be Titus’s mistake”Jonathan is an american legal professional who has a pleasant profile for case relating to relics simply because he used to be a doctoral scholar of classics at Rome. but if he's referred to as again to Rome for an easy case relating to an old stone piece, he unearths a message encrypted in it. With support of some pals from the earlier that he had left behind, he discovers a conspiracy so hidden and old that
nobody understands or believes it. yet little does he understand that the terrorists also are attempting to ruin each hint of it which can reason an unrepairable harm in Jewish-Christian history. With a shoot-at-sight on his personal head and terrorists at his heels, his basically method to continue to exist is to discover it first.This by way of some distance the main underrated novel i have ever read. Dan Brown, Steve Berry, Sam Bourne and various authors have made "Treasure hunting" a hugely well known style between ultra-modern books and as too many author are writing, one begins to note a few clichés and to become bored with related codecs and pitch-perfect characters the place nobody forgets something they ever had learn or done. and that's the place Daniel Levin has entered with a a really very clean take.Daniel Levin himself is a legal professional and if learn carefully, it may be felt who the hero Jonathan is a traced on. The writing is fluid and the e-book does not provide headache with pointless infos(take that David Gibbins). yet what I loved such a lot approximately this ebook is that the characters will not be perfect. now not nearly as good or bad, I suggest nobody is an ideal professor(don't get me wrong, i love Robert Langdon yet nonetheless someday he seems like a computer) or murderer or collector and everybody has their shortcomings and lacking. therefore they think very real looking and grounded. With a few little poke in religions and a truly great hazard placing over head, Mr Levin has written a fantastic book.Nothing feels pressured or an excessive amount of advanced within the final Ember and that simplicity is what makes this very enjoyable. As a début novel, this fairly powerful and others particularly need to be careful if Daniel Levin develops more.I hugely suggest this publication to any mystery, thriller, treasure loving readers. Jackie: I observed this booklet reviewed within the newspaper and needed to stay up for our library procedure to get it in.
