Summary:
"
True
Raiders
is The Lost City of Z meets The Da Vinci Code, from critically acclaimed author Brad Ricca. This book tells the
untold
true
story
of Monty Parker, a British rogue nobleman who, after being dared to do so by Ava Astor, the so-called 'most beautiful woman in the world,' headed a secret
1909
expedition
to
find
the fabled
Ark
of the
Covenant
. This amazing tale not only inspired the blockbuster film
Raiders
of the Lost
Ark
but stands on its own as an incredible
story
of adventure and mystery, though it has been almost completely forgotten today. In 1908, Monty is approached by a strange Finnish scholar named Valter Juvelius who claims to have discovered a secret code in the Bible that reveals the location of the
Ark
. Monty assembles a ragtag group of blueblood adventurers, a renowned psychic, and a Franciscan father, to engage in a secret excavation just outside the city walls of Jerusalem. Using recently uncovered records from the original
expedition
and several newly translated sources,
True
Raider is the first retelling of this group's adventures- in the space between fact and faith, science and romance"--Publisher.
