Chronicle Supposing Books 30 Pieces of Silver (Betrayed #1)
Wow, I gave a book only one star- yet I read the whole book! I didn't like the book, but it had nothing to do with the advertised controversial view on biblical history. I didn't like the book because it was not believable in the actions taking place. The action was so outrageous it was not believable. Not even for an author to take some literary license, yet this one took out the licensing bureau!I was in the military and I have lived overseas. There are gun battles with this book, explosions, car chases, airplane crashes, killings, underground explosions causing cave-ins at tourist sites, and the desecration of holy sites - all motivated to get to the next archeological fact first!
All through these crazy acts, no government or city authorities seem to register this group at all. They cause all these explosions, firefights, and chases - and the rest of the world didn't impact this story. It was like the author put all these characters in a vacuum and said, "have at it" and don't worry about the rest of the world interfering on your trek, I will keep them out of it! It was just TOO much to take the book seriously, even remotely.
Lastly, here are some great scientist, archeological buffs, and religious zealots who have NO problem destroying any sacred historical place or object. REALLY, people who work their whole life preserving history destroy items, markers, and relics for no other reason than to get to the object first!!!
Like I said, it was just TOO much and pushed it too far for me to like this book.

There are gun battles with this book, explosions,It really wasn't that bad. It was full of action. A few reviews complained of it's action being "unrealistic." That never really bothers me... when I read these kinds of books, I usually just suspend my beliefs. Anyway, I did enjoy the dialog -sophomoric and juvenile at times, but still fun. The "controversy" was interesting, too, but didn't convert me from my Christian beliefs. All in all, a nice little book away from the Reading Challenges.

Mixed emotions about the book. The action scenes were a little too over-the-top, I suppose, but the story did move right along. The best part, to me, was the flashbacks to the story of Jesus and Judas told in modern language which read like a novel. I didn't find the book to be all that controversial, but the unorthodox ideas of what actually happened at (and after) the crucifixion of Jesus were fascinating.
30 Pieces of Silver was a lot of hype about nothing. It really went on and on in place. I have read more than my fair share of religious historical/ fiction/espionage, so I have a great deal to compare to this book.As a former religion teacher, one of things that bothered me most is the lack of scriptural accuracy. Judas and Jesus did not grow up together. Judas was the only one of the original 12 that was not from Galilee. Paul was not one of the original 12. Paul was part Roman and Hebrew. His
30 Pieces of Silver is a very controversial religious thriller. The style is a bit similar to the DaVinci code in that the characters are on the search for controversial religious relics, and a secret society does not want the relics found. Thats it for the similarities though. 30 Pieces of Silver is very much its own story. The premise in 30 Pieces of Silver is forensic archeology natured, and definitely unique. The novel blends a touch of romance, action adventure, and dangerous situations
This book belongs on the shelf next to Dan Browns the Da Vinci code and Angels and Demons. This involves the types of secrets that if revealed could destroy the foundations of faith for much of the world and secret societies that have worked for centuries (and sometime against each other) to keep the secrets hidden from the world. The action starts (in our time) with a bombing at the Eiffel Tower, which turns out was to destroy some artifacts buried under the site of the tower centuries prior to
