Publisher's Note
When Ron Boyle, the supposed victim of an assassination, is spotted alive and well in Asia eight years after his purported death, former presidential aide Wes Holloway, permanently disfigured in the same attack, stumbles into the heart of a baffling conspiracy involving Masonic history, an enigmatic code invented by Thomas Jefferson, and the Book of Fate, a repository for disturbing secrets.

Industry Reviews
"The characters are genuine human beings--not all that common in the world of high-concept thrillers--and the plot fluidly integrates historical fact and fiction, which is even less common. Fans of thrillers that reach far back into history will be, well,...thrilled."
(07/01/2006)

"While readers looking for efficient plotting may be disappointed, Meltzer's many fans will enjoy this substantial meal of a book."

      THE BOOK OF FATE by Brad Meltzer
    Review created: 09/22/06(updated 09/22/06)
    7 of 9 people found this review helpful.

    I have read every one of Brad Meltzer's six novels. They are always excellent, and THE BOOK OF FATE is no exception. It is riveting. From the first page on it is a "I cannot put this book down" kind of book.

    The book opens with an assassination attempt on the President of the United States. The President survives the incident, but a top aide and the President's first errand boy, Wes, are shot.

    Next, the book shifts to eight years later. The hero, Wes, is on a chase to find out what is going on and what happened eight years ago. Meltzer takes the reader on quite a journey and the writing is superb. I could actually feel like I knew these characters, and what they were going through and how they felt.

    Filled with fast paced action, complex plots and subplots, wonderful character development, twists and turns, political intrigue, and intertwined with humor, Brad Meltzer has another hit! I am looking forward to his next novel. I just hated to put this one down even when I was finished!

    Author Brad Meltzer is Brilliant with his words and this book will keep you on the edge of the seat. Do you think they really do carry the Presidents Blood in a special bank for just him? hmmm I do recommend this book!
