Professor Baker is in the middle of a conspiracy of planetary proportions that runs for more than half a millennium.
The novel is under contract with Trident Media group and featured on its hot list at the London Book Fair.
The Lost Bible’s English translator, Jean Harris, writes: If Eco plays with the detective story, at the lowest level "The Lost Bible" is an action thriller with the accent on horror, occasionally Gothic.
Essentially, though, it's a conspiracy novel composed of infinitely small puzzle pieces whose sense can't be guessed till the end.... On this pretext of a novel with great mass appeal, Bergler has based a complex construction that betrays a much greater ambition, evident in the novel as a whole.... For the wider audience, though, the book's most important quality is its overwhelmingly visual character.
Although full of information, stuffed with references and games at many levels, "The Lost Bible" isn't a book to read but to see, just like a favorite movie.
