 James Patrick Holding on The Da Vinci Code
This book had muscled its way onto the bestseller list through blanketing the landscape with free copies and has inspired some questions, lots of media attention, and concerns from Christians who don’t like the ideas, but don’t have the answers to its content.
All of this might be excused, except that Brown baptizes such aspects of the book with the brand of FACT, and that he also puts many of these “facts” into the mouth of a character named Teabing who is described as a reputable historian.
This book, a bestseller that is the motherlode for Brown’s sort of theorizing, is not entirely endorsed by Brown’s historian character, who pins it for “dubious leaps of faith” but allows that its “fundamental premise [is] sound.” It’s nice to know something is, because the authors’ qualifications are not.

 Science Fiction Book Reviews
There is no overarching plot thread per se but rather a multitude of strands that tie in with characters and events from previous Company novels and short stories, as well as, presumably, those to come.
Chief among these are further revelations concerning the mysterious ADONAI project, and the discovery of a hitherto unsuspected branch of humanity, Homo sapiens umbratilis, that shuns the light of day and possesses instinctive powers of invention so remarkable as to make them formidable enemies—or allies—in the coming struggle.
Because the backstory is so dense, readers unfamiliar with the Company would do well to begin with the first book in the series, The Garden of Iden.

The book of Mosiah, chapter 14, in the Book of Mormon, is a reproduction of the fifty-third chapter of Isaiah the prophet, and 3 Nephi 13 copies Matthew 6 almost word-for-word.
