    About this ebook

    Investigating a burglary at an English country house, DI Robbie Peele comes face to face with some of the most mysterious objects in world archaeology, disks similar to the Phaestos Disk - and with a Middle Eastern terrorist cell determined to steal them. Why - and why are Mossad involved?. The vital clue is a long abandoned Muslim village in Crete, where terrible things happened more than a century ago, witnessed by a Victorian gentleman explorer who recorded what he saw in coded diaries. Seeking the truth about the strange disks, Peele and his assistant, Sarah Shipton, head to Crete. But Crete poses as many puzzles as it solves. In the end Peele has to ask far harder questions than simply who did the original burglary - the answer to which infuriates him. What do the disks really say, in what language, and who made them? And why is the answer so dangerous to peace in the Middle East?

      While I did realize going in that this was not going to be your typical police procedural novel, I wasn't quite ready for the "cop meets spy world" approach to the story. I also wasn't prepared for the rather complex - and somewhat academic - archaeology/religion angle that at times made me feel more like I was back in university attending a class than reading what I was expecting to be a more action-packed story. Don't get me wrong, the historical information made for some interesting reading and it did make me curious to learn more about the persecution/expulsion of the Ottoman Muslims from Crete in the early 1900's but the action itself was lackluster, but I did grow tired of the barrage of police, spy agencies and government officials that seem to dance their way through the pages of this story like a swirling, muddled mess - MI5, MI6, CI7, Mossad, Interpol, etc. I am chalking this one up as a beach read, not the intense, adrenalin pumping action packed ride I was expecting/hoping it would be.
    • 4/5
      This book seemed unlikely to actually happen. A small time detective ends up in the midst of an international conspiracy because of a burglary. Possible, yes. Probable, definitely not. But the characters were fantastically well written - I wouldn't be surprised to bump into any of them on the street. And the mystery at the center of the story was definitely entertaining and kept my interest from the first page to the last.

      I like to read/review books for Kregel/Lion Hudson because their British novels explore subjects and describe culture much different than those found in American Christian fiction. And while they often include some profanity and adult subject matter (this novel does) also not found in their American counterparts, they usually have a Christian worldview that I can agree with. That’s why I signed up for the blog tour of The Babylon Contingency by Clifford Longley. I must confess I have mixed feelings about this book.DI Robert (Robbie) Peele thinks he is following up on a routine break-in at a manor house when he is plunged into a case complete with international terrorists, shadowy manipulation by intelligence agencies, a centuries old archaeological find and a plot to bring down the state of Israel. Whew, that’s a lot for a Metropolitan Police detective! Along the way he encounters archaeologists with conflicting motives and allegiances. The back cover blurb assertion that archaeology is dangerous is spot on.I really would not characterize The Babylon Contingency as Christian fiction. The reader will be hard pressed to find any characters who are Christians, let alone live their faith. There is one archaeologist who is a semi-practicing Catholic and one who is a Jew turned Catholic turned Jew turned . . . . You get the picture. Most characters are atheists or agnostics or just-don’t-think-about-its. The worldview that Moses didn’t exist and that the Bible is a book of myths is their starting point in informing their world. This is the part I found most intriguing about the book. It provides insight into how those in the scientific/secular world view fundamentalist (that’s how evangelicals are described) Christians and their religion of delusion and deceit. I did not get the impression that the author believed this as well, just that he was describing what a very vocal interest group believes. For that I would recommend reading this novel. The mystery took a while to develop, but once the characters travel to Crete and Egypt, the action takes off. Robbie Peele is a good detective, if a bit world-worn and cynical. Other characters are interesting, yet are motivated by their own selfish desires or ideologies. Not really any that I could relate to or want to know.An interesting read, but . . . The Babylon Contingency is not one I would pick up again.Audience: adults.(Thanks to Kregel and Lion Hudson for a review copy. The opinions expressed are mine alone.)

      One of my favorite subjects is Archaeology. I find it fascinating that Historical figures and Bible History can connect and grow from a one celled organism to an ever larger one. More exciting is when there is a mysterious puzzle to learn about like The Genesis Code. In this Historical novel, Cryptographers, Archaeologists and crime investigators research the past in fine detail.This highly significant trip behind historical walls, into villages and graveyards begins with murder and the burglary of the famous Phaetos disks. These are from Crete. They are in the Broxborough Manor. DCI Robbie Peele leads the search for answers to a crime. At the front of The Babylon Contingency, there is a description of the mysterious journey taken by the characters. "We have no means of guessing, even approximately, the nature of the text, for nothing like it has been found in any known language..." John Chadwick, Linear B and Related Scripts,British Museum Publications 1987There is the Nationalistic spirit of great empires and smaller ones which fall like The Roman Empire. There is also the mention of Hebrews and Muslims. It is really fascinating to read about the remains of a Muslim Mosque on top of a Hebrew village. "There were still Muslim villages, though what they called the "'Black Terror'" was spreading across the island...Greek Orthodox Cretans who went from village to village, killing Turks. Wore black armbands." The black armbands reminded me of the armbands worn during the reign of the Nazis during WWII in Germany.The book also truthfully tells about man's war like spirit. First, Turkey conquers Greece. Then Greece seals the deal with an atrocious massacre of the inhabitants of Turkey. There is that pay back spirit of human nature. If you hit me, I will hit you back. "Don't forget the Greeks thought they were only doing to the Turks what the Turks had been doing to them, for centuries, all over the Near East. "It seemed like I had taken a walk with an Archaeologist. The descriptions are wonderful and awakened my interest in the Phaetos palace, the Heraklion museum, The Dead Sea Scrolls and The Sea People. It is fascinating to learn about the race to find and sell relics. Big money crosses hands. There are criminal activities as well.I only had one drawback with Clifford Longley's book. There are so many abbreviations. Many were not familiar to me. It was especially difficult because the history takes place in England and Greece. I looked at the front of the book and at the end of the book for a glossary. I did not find one. These abbreviations halted my reading and slightly irritated me. I would have enjoyed seeing black and white illustrations of places, artifacts or people. I continued reading the novel, The Babylon Contingency, because of my interest in Archaeology and Historical figures like Josephus, the Jewish Historian. josephus.orglionhudson.comClifford+Longley

      A simple break-in into a small out of the way museum in the home of an dead archaeologist becomes an international incident with MI5 and MI6, Special Branch, and the Mossad all looking over the shoulder of Robbie Peele, the detective in charge of the investigation. What artifacts, if any, were the thieves after and why the interest of the various intelligence agencies. Peele and the detectives find some stone tablets that appear to be related to a large tablet found in Crete and on display there in a museum. When the leads in England run out, Peele is off to Crete, via Greece, then to Lebanon and on to Egypt, to try to learn why the tablets are important and what group is out to steal them and for what reason. The twists and turns that he runs into seems to only make the search that much more difficult and even endangers his life. It seems that at every turn he discovers another spy working on the case. If translated will the tablets lead to a new understanding of the stories of the Bible? A very interesting and fascinating book. I hope Peele is brought back in future works by Longley.
    • 4/5
      The Babylon Contingency by Clifford Longley was a very interesting and well written novel. This is thriller with the search for historical artifacts and their meaning in the vein of Steve Berry, Chris Kuzneski, Dan Brown, and the Fargo series by Clive Cussler.The story is about several historical artifacts at a small British museum that an Islamic group tries to steal. The local British police are investigating a small burglary at the museum. The lead detective stops by one night to check out the crime scene and discovers another burglary in progress. The patrol officers he calls for backup get the vehicle plate. While deciding what to do, one of the burglars hears a sound and sprays the area with automatic rifle fire wounding one of the officers and make their getaway. The investigation becomes a murder investigation the next day with the discovery of the body of the caretaker in the gardeners shed.The lead detective is then contacted by a mysterious government agency regarding the burglary. Before long, MI5, MI6, Special Branch, and Mossad are all involved to some part in the story.A search of the museum and the background of one of the contributors to the museum leads to the discovery of encrypted diaries and many historic artifacts related to the diaries. Archaeologists indicate the artifacts are similar to a lone object discovered in Crete that the writing on the object had never been deciphered. The investigation leads to Crete, Lebanon, and Egypt in the attempt to find out what the objects are. It is believed that the artifacts relate to the Bible. One of the burglars in eventually captured in a third burglary of the museum and one is killed. The dead burglar has ties to a terrorist group in the Mideast with the intention of destroying Israel. The other burglar is a former SAS soldier.The story is very good and if you like the novels by Steve Berry, Chris Kuzneski, Dan Brown, and the Fargo Series by Clive Cussler you will like this story.

      *Copy received through Early Reviewers* This book was difficult to read. The concept of the story was very intriguing, but the abrupt and constant inner monologue gave me a headache.The narrator of the story is very hard to follow and distracts from the main crime committed in the book. I had trouble remembering all the various characters, and most voices seemed the same from one character to the next.
    • 4/5
      From the back cover blurb, you'd think this is yet another knockoff of The DaVinci Code - search for ancient artifact that threatens to radically disprove religion, international conspiracy with assassins chasing our heroes, etc. Well, The Babylon Contingency ain't that. Instead, Longley gives us what starts as a good police procedural centering around a burglary/terrorist plot that turns out to have international implications, delving into archaeology and Cretan artifacts that could start a new war in the Middle East.The writing's a bit choppy, but I liked the characters, and the plotting and pacing worked well for this sort of book. All in all, a pretty good read!
    • 4/5
      This is a well executed British police procedural. A routine break in at a British manor house leads unexpectedly to a hunt for archeological treasures that could upset the entire Middle Eastern community including Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Hidden for years in the dusty basement of this manor house are ancient clay discs, secreted out of Crete many years ago by a Professor Livingstone, a relative of the famous Dr. Livingstone. During his lifetime, Prof. Livingstone attempted to decipher the figures pressed into both sides of the clay discs, which are perhaps three thousand years old. The attempted theft of these nearly forgotten, priceless discs starts Detective Inspector Peele onan investigation that will have a high cost in lives. From England to ancient villages on the island of Crete, from mysterious Alexandria to the dangerous streets of Lebanon, D.I. Peele tracks down the story behind the discs and the man who is trying to steal them at any cost. Sometimes it is hard to tell whether D.I. Peele is leading the search or being lead. The book flows with a lot of action with historical background thrown in to help move the plot. My one complaint, the writing seemed to lack a certain passion. I don’t know if it was intentional to present a British staid attitude or if the author just didn’t quite inject enough life or feeling into his characters. I liked the tale, but the characters need some work.
    • 2/5
      Won on LibraryThing Early Reviewers Giveaway. The book began with an attempt at excitement but fell short. At times, I found trouble with the flow of sentences. It went from one to another but skipped a thought, as if I was supposed to fill in the blanks. There also seemed to be too much description. I felt I didn't need to know every person's three word input.
