Title: Entertaining, thought provoking
Product review: When I first saw Da Vinci Legacy for sale, I thought it was a rip-off of Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code. However, I was surprised to see that it was first published in 1983 which makes it about the first novel to combine Da Vinci, art and religion into a thriller.I have also read Daughter of God and found the writing style there better than this one, but this was still very good.There were many echoes of "Code" here, but I suppose that is inevitable when you're writing about the same topic. I think that Perdue and Brown are different types of writers and that one should realize that. I prefer Perdue, but find Brown a good read as well.One thing I found interesting in "Legacy" is the strange way that the Elect Brothers of St. Peter kept their captives so dependent on them. I saw from the acknowdegements that Perdue credits a couple of Doctors at the UCLA medical school for helping develop this. Fascinating if this could somehow be true.
