Recensione:

“It’s worthy of a Spielberg epic: an intrepid British don’s 20-year mission to find the Lost Ark of the Covenant.” (Daily Mail)

“Parfitt’s passionately crafted new theory, like his first, could eventually be proven right...” (Time Magazine)

“Parfitt’s scholarly, fascinating work explains and explodes a pervasive myth.” (The Times)

“Deemed ‘the British Indiana Jones’ by the Wall Street Journal, Parfitt is both scholar and adventurer. This real-life account [is] a gripping...yarn. Recommended.” (Library Journal)
