It is the sixteenth century: a terrible suffering before dying, killed to keep the secret that will be revealed one day. Five centuries later, the world's most mysterious manuscript has finally been translated: the Voynich Manuscript, one of the relics that remained unfathomable for so long. But more than one mysterious hand creeps between the events, determined to chase their goals regarding the manuscript of Satan and looking for a secret place where every miracle is possible.

This is the only Michael Cordy book I have read. The writing style is quite simple, and the settings are also relatively easy to imagine. Perhaps not too detailed, but enough to make the idea (with a little imagination). The plot is also quite simple. For me, it was easy to follow, although I think that in some parts the author has gone on longer than necessary: this is a flaw that perhaps can't even be defined as such anymore, because I find it in almost all novels that exceed 350 pages. The characters are perhaps not drawn too much, but, even in this case, a little imagination on the part of the reader helps to give them an acceptable appearance.

The focal point of this novel - the one for which a reader should decide whether to buy it or not - is certainly the plot. The writing is not too creative, and the sentences are handled in a fairly academic way, although fluid and useful for following the events. The common thread can be framed halfway between action/adventure and thriller. It is one of those novels in which, however, a purely fantastic side takes over, unlike crime thrillers. Let's say a Dan Brown, James Rollins, or Glenn Cooper novel. Mystery, adventure, action, suspense - there's a little bit of everything. I don't feel like making comparisons with other authors as far as writing is concerned. Instead, I leave it up to you to judge. Overall, I liked the book.
