Summary: This is the exact same book as " Protocol-17" .....
Review: "Dark Protocols" by Richard Weber is the exact same book as "Protocol-17" by Douglas Weber!!!!!!!I guess if you try to sell a really BAD, BORING, not even the author knows what he's trying to say kind book and it doesn't sell, just change the title, change the artwork, change the author's name and try again!!!!!!!Now THAT is a conspiracy! I know they make it sound exciting and intriguing, that's why I purchased it, but believe me it's not! Just about everything the author has ever heard about he threw into this book. What's this book about? I don't think the author knows. And the writing, talk about amateurish! The long winded physical descriptions of every character in this book, and there are many, will make you want to scream!!!!!!!The usage of words followed by a description are insulting and annoying. Possibly the worse book I have ever read, and I do read a lot, 15 books in the last 6 months, including "The Da Vinci Code". How do the other reviewers give this book 5 stars? They either were reading a different book or are friends of the author......

Summary: Davinci Code meets Hannibal Lecter ...
Review: DaVinci Code meets Hannibal Lecter ...
Reviewer: from Canada
ebook Reviews Weekly Patricia Spork, Aug 8, 2003 Chicago Detectives, Michael Ryan and Samuel Goldstein investigate the murders of a Catholic archbishop and nun- victims of grisly mutilations and bloody atrocities. Fingerprints on a knife lead the detectives to twelve-year-old boy, Matt Mendecka.
Across the globe in Italy, The Black Rose Notebook is stolen from its private case in the Vatican Library and hand-delivered to Mossad Agent Josephine (Josey) Schulman. Josey has the ancient book special-delivered by diplomatic pouch to her father, a Professor of Theology at the Hebrew University in Israel on loan to the University of Chicago. The forces of evil overwhelm the detectives and Mossad agent, as they are forced to accept and rely on paranormal powers and unbridle their long forgotten religious beliefs and faith to battle the Brotherhood. But can God favor telepathy, sheer determination, and love against satanic motivated PSYOPS (psychological warfare)? Can angels actually save Holy warriors from the depths of despair? Can der Golem, summoned by a Rabbi, help battle the spawn of Hell itself? Or will the world succumb to total mind control and adhere to The Brotherhood's protocols? R. D. Weber takes the reader on a mind-boggling horror ride
in Dark Protocols. International intrigue and espionage, murder
investigations, occult and supernatural occurrences are blended
together in a compelling and frightening novel. Characters, human and supernatural, leap from the pages at times, via dialogue and description. Unforgettable villains and credible well-fleshed-out heroes add to this enjoyable thriller.
Readers of The DaVinci Code and cross genre King and Koontz novels will add Weber to their list of favorite suspense authors. His background as a former government agent lends realistic detail to his writing. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Summary: Do not read this book!
Review: I bought this book because the blurb sounded liked "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown. But this book is nothing in comparison to it? The writing is too heavy and often unclear, sometimes it is boringly long, sometimes it is unnaturaly quick, the ending is just strange, there are a lot of unanswered questions, out-of-blue developments and very unrealistic situations. Consider, for example, an average Rabbi all of a sudden creates a Golem. Besides, I noticed a lot of typos. So the book just is not worth the money.

Summary: Spellbinding terror laced with fact ....
Review: Karen Walsh a thriller fan from Kansas City MO This book drew my in from the very first sentence. Noir prose combined with a fast-paced barnburner. As the plot thickens and intensifies, I found myself ...peeking...into the next chapter--afraid to see what happens next, but unable to resist the temptation to look. Seductive and frightening. I just couldn't wait to see if Sam and Josey made it. The ending was satisfying and rocketed on right up until the last page. There's a lot of factual detail involving the Vatican, Mossad agents, and secret societies. Intricate plot lines and cliff-hanger chapter endings will keep you hooked and then, just when you think you've got it all figured out--Weber throws another complication in our protagonist's path. Chills and thrills galore.
I found the locales, both in Chicago and Rome, to be rich and accurate, lending a lot to the credibility of the author's writing. The background on the Illuminati-like secret cabals and the "notebook" itself was fascinating. If you want to see for yourself, read the excerpt posted on the left here at amazon.com. I have no reservations whatsoever in recommending this book.
