    About this ebook

    A Templar cryptogram has eluded scholars for centuries.

    Is it a ticking cipher bomb just hours away from detonating a global war?

    Rookie State Department lawyer Jaqueline Quartermane was never much good at puzzles.

    But now, assigned to investigate a ritual murder of an American in Ethiopia, she must solve the world's oldest palindrome—the infamous SATOR Square—to thwart a religious conspiracy that reaches across the centuries to the Age of Discovery and a secretive order of Portuguese sea explorers.

    Separated by half a millennium, two espionage plots dovetail in this breakneck thriller, driven by history's most closely guarded mystery....

    ... the shocking secret that Christopher Columbus took to the grave.

    If you dare join the search for The Virgin of the Wind Rose, you may end up questioning everything you were taught in history class.

      4.25 StarsAn adventure end-of-the-world epic that spans centuries. This historical mystery is told in two separate storylines, one during the Age of Exploration and the other in contemporary times. Religious fanatics, spies, government conspiracies, and beautiful landscapes are included throughout. The author did some serious research. Perfect for Dan Brown or Steve Berry fans.LT Member Giveaways

      Glen Craney's The Virgin of the Wind Rose is a complex book that combines magic with religion and even archaeology to create an entertaining thriller. I first thought that this book would be far more centred on religion than I usually read. Religious books (both for and against different religions) sometimes forget to add other elements to the story, but The Virgin of the Wind Rose was a wonderfully told story with so many thoughts combined together that it became very enjoyable indeed.

      While investigating the death of her fiance in Ethiopia, State Department newbie Jacqueline “Jac” Quartermane stumbles upon a mysterious word puzzle in an underground church in Lalibela, Ethiopia. Determined to solve the puzzle, she finds herself thrown into an ancient Christian mystery. Her investigations spark a wide ranging race to resurrect the Temple of Solomon. Running parallel to this, we travel back to 1452, where a Portuguese secret society seeks to avert the Spanish crown’s designs to bring about judgement day.If you’re thinking that this sounds very like The Da Vinci Code, you’re not alone. The promise of an interesting mystery tied to a historical thriller sounded like a lot of fun. Unfortunately, the main character, Jacqueline Quartermane, is a literalist, born-again Christian. Her mentor is a megachurch pastor with most of the GOP in his pocket. Forgive me for saying this, but I find the idea of cheering for someone like Jac to be repellent. The historical portions of the plot were interesting, although the time jumps did get confusing at times. It was the modern-day portions, with Jac at the helm, that ultimately turned me off this book. Perhaps I’m letting my personal feelings have too much sway, but especially in this day and age I find I have no patience for the religious set. If this book had been more secular, like The Da Vinci Code, it would have been much more palatable for me.So, this book was entirely not to my tastes. For those who don’t mind the overly-religious bits, you may still enjoy it. One person’s tastes are not the be-all and end-all (which is the whole point of this blog). But for myself, I had to say no.A copy of this book was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.

      Review of The Virgin of the Wind Rose by Glen CraneyThis novel intertwines the story of two groups of seekers, one historical and one in the present day, who foresee the End Days. Craney's research into history, geography, religions, mythology, and cryptography is mind-boggling in its scope, but his efforts to bring it all together into one thriller required more than this reader's “willing suspension of disbelief” could manage. The ideas and locations are intriguing, but the speed at which his protagonist must calculate, translate, travel, repeat is not believable. One palindromic square provides clue after clue, each discovered at just the right moment and in just the right circumstances. The protagonist herself is a lawyer working in the upper echelons of Washington, but who is also naive and gullible, yet capable of making mental leaps and bounds in the twinkling of an eye when it comes to codes, all while failing to grasp what is going on in her own life. The thriller was provided to me by Library Thing as a Member Giveaway, in exchange for an honest review. All in all, The Virgin of the Wind Rose is an impressive collection of research and imagination that becomes too convoluted to work as a novel.

      Jacqueline (Jaq), a lawyer working for the state department, is thrown into a religious escapade when her fiancé is found murdered in Ethiopia. Traveling to retrieve his remains she realizes once there that the story does not prove sound and when she stumbles across a travel stub for Italy amongst his belongings and a news clipping about ancient Jewish relics she realizes her fiancé was not there for pleasure. She begins to investigate on her own starting with the church where her fiancé was found murdered; while there she comes across a man, Elymas (later known as Boz) who makes her aware that this was no random murder. Together and separate they begin a journey to retrieve lost religious relics and ultimately find the Ark of the Covenant before the rapture but there is someone who is always one step ahead of them.The other half of the story takes place mostly in Portugal during the time where new routes to India were being explored and the discovery of a New World by Columbus. This part of the story was filled with myths and what I would call today conspiracy theories. The two stories do collide perfectly together and the relevance of each is revealed. The story is impressive in that the research that went into telling this story is intense. However, I found it a bit unbelievable and extravagant. The story moves incredibly fast from point to point with all the clues being readily available at just the right moment. The ease of how Jaq and Boz are able to go from point A to point B is unrealistic. I did find the story intriguing but too implausible for my taste.
    • 4/5
      An adventure/thriller. No, an historical adventure. No again, perhaps a double adventure with each story explaining the other. Even that doesn’t quite capture this book. One tale, set in the late 1400's in Portugal with Henry the Navigator and the Order of Christ at the forefront. The other set in present day with Jaqueline Quartermane, a strongly religious lawyer. Using facts, both well known and obscure, Author Craney weaves all together albeit not perhaps as seamlessly as one could want. Starting with the Order of Christ attempting to prevent the Apocalypse the story envisages the melding in of the Knights Templar remnants and their sailing skills. History tells us that Henry and the Order of Christ trained and sent out into the world, highly trained navigators with mission to find a way to the India by sailing East which required the faith that the tip of Africa could be turned, thus preventing the hated Spaniards from discovering the possibility. The upshot of this mission, in the book, produces Christopher Columbus who persuades Queen Isabella that the West route would be successful. Does this religious order know the whereabouts of the thirteen holy instruments taken from the ruins of King Solomon’s Temple and why do they want to bring them together? In this activity a palindromic square is brought into play as a method of sending messages.Jaqueline in the present day, goes to Africa to find out why her fiancee was not responding to her calls and emails. Arriving in Lalibela and descending into the ground to visit the churches dug out there centuries ago, her adventures begin as she unknowingly follows the traces of the Portugese navigators and attempts to solve the cryptography of the 5 x 5 letter square.A good romp through history and the bringing together of various discoveries that can be explained in several ways or perhaps unexplainable. But then, that is what these type of novels are supposed to do: reveal hidden truths and provide the discovery of secret mysteries.. And the well written ones leave you with that question in your mind: Could it have been? An excellent bibliography closes the book.
