Customer Reviews

Great Job!!

This was a great read. Got it because it was compared to the Da Vinci Code. Was not disappointed. Kept you guessing and very well written. Can't wait to read his other books. Anyone who is a fan of the Da Vinci Code, definitly pick this one up.

Fantastic!

I loved this book. If you like Dan Brown's religious books like Angels and Demons, you will love this book. It held my interest the entire time. I first started reading my mom's copy and loved it so much that I bought my own and one as a gift. I recommend it to everyone!

A novel for all

What a pleasant surprise! A modern day treasure hunt - tracing a several centuries-old painting with hidden meanings to a present-day double murder, the pages fly by with ease. It is obvious the author spent many hours researching this work - I checked the accuracy of the historical data presented in the book and it appears to be spot-on, which makes the novel even more believable. Both history buffs and those who feel a little more historically-challenged alike will enjoy this read and find this book fascinating. Dan Brown was good but Loomis is better. The book incorporates more accurate historical events than Brown could invent. A 5-star recommendation - after all, who doesn't love a good treasure hunt?

Great Read!

This was a great read! Seemed more authentic than The Da Vinci Code. Really liked the main character, Lang Reilly.

action-packed ecclesiastical thriller

In Paris, a bomb exploded in the apartment building where Janet, her adopted son and her hostess were staying. Langford Reilly, former CIA agent goes to Paris to bring home the remains, but while there learns that Janet bought a painting. After Lang leaves the out of the way store, someone tries to knife him. He soon discovers that Janet shipped the painting to a store to be framed. He picks up the painting, an appraisal and a Polaroid of the painting to take home with him. Someone removes all three objects and bombs the gallery where the painting was framed. An assailant enters Lang's' home to kill him but he is prepared. Lang finds out that an expert on the painting is in Vatican City so he travels there and learns that the painting is a map and the organization who is after him doesn't want him to find out what is hidden at the designated location. The organization commits another homicide, but frames Lang as the killer. With the help of friends from his CIA days, the former agent remains determined to find out why he is stalked, his sibling murdered and what secret this rich and powerful organization is hiding. Fans of Dan Brown's THE DA VINCI CODE are going to love THE PEGASUS SECRET, an ecclesiastical thriller that is so action-packed that readers will feel they are on a fast moving rocket ship. The hero is in danger from the time he receives the painting but he is determined to find out why his sister was killed and how the painting leads to her death. Greg Loomis writes an amazing thriller with more twists and turns than a maze. Harriet Klausner
