Product Description
Saddam is gone, Arafat is dead, and a new Iraq is rising. But when a suicide bomber strikes Washington and assassinations unfold from London to Los Angeles, Jon Bennett and Erin McCoy are drawn back into a world of terror they thought was over. At the heart of the mystery lies a 2,000-year-old scroll describing unimaginable treasures that could lead to the Third Jewish Temple. Some call it history's greatest treasure map. Others call it a road map to Armageddon. But the time to find the truth is running out fast.

 To the point of no return... July 20, 2008
is how I think Joel writes his books. I love authors who write how they feel and how the story goes. In his 3rd book I was pretty shocked to see that, yeah, the Battle of Gog and Magog DID happen and changed the world... forever! This one is no different with the finding of the scrolls, the treasure, and the Ark. THAT was a shock!!
This book has the classis Joel fast action, the classic Joel in-detail research, the classic Joel end of the world storyline. I'm telling you that if you haven't read this series you are really missing something special. I'm going to wait a bit on 'Dead Heat' because I don't want to finish this series just yet.
 Ad Nauseum June 30, 2008
Maui H.S. "The only book I have read worse than this was a very bad POD author. This is not to put down POD. Most POD books are written much better than this one.
I cannot believe a brick and mortar publisher edited and published this trashy novel.
There is little plot. The action is trite and cliche without a hint of suspense. I will admit the novel does have somewhat of a plot.
The plot is ruined with trite and sappy dialogue. This novel could be the result of a first year college student the dialogue and scene setting is so bad. The action is wimpy and completely unrealistic. I didn't feel any empathy for the characters at all. The characters were two dimensional wimpy and sappy like the dialogue.
If the book wasn't bad enough the reader or in my case, listener, has to put up with born again christian propaganda ad nauseum. This was my first and probably my only Joel Rosenberg novel. The editor should have been fired for letting this one go to print."
 Imaginative Concept, Mixed Execution June 27, 2008
I found this book very easy to read, and was intrigued by the concept of the Copper Scroll and following the clues to an ancient secret. It seemed a little like "National Treasure" in that aspect. The unfolding of the mystery was well done.
The story in other aspects was not as well done. There was a little that felt like "24" mixed in, some "Left Behind," and lots of personal drama and dialogue.
I expect the main characters in a book like this to stretch believability, but the husband and wife team are way past believability.
I do recommend the book, and enjoyed reading it. The disappointing elements of this book, however, have made me think it is time to put this series down and move on to something else.
Excellent read prior to "Dead Heat" June 20, 2008
A little slow at first if you haven't read his previous books. But very entertaining and well written. Keeps you glued to the book to finish.
Wonderful continuation May 22, 2008

Copper Scroll is probably my favorite in the series. Filled with intrigue and unexpected events, once again the plot seems to be taken from current events. I never knew a "copper scroll" existed, until this book, and became more interested after finding out more about the actual artifact from a Google search. You certainly need to start with the first book, but this book makes the whole series more than worthwhile.
