Description

"Dan Brown fans will want to check this one out" (Publishers Weekly): The Ghent Altarpiece is the most violated work of art in the world. Thirteen times it has been vandalized, dismantled, or stolen. Why? What secrets does it hold? Enter UNESCO investigator, Nicholas Lee, who works for the United Nations’ Cultural Liaison and Investigative Office (CLIO). Nick’s job is to protect the world’s cultural artifacts—anything and everything from countless lesser-known objects to national treasures. When Nick travels to Belgium for a visit with a woman from his past, he unwittingly stumbles on the trail of a legendary panel from the Ghent Altarpiece, stolen in 1934 under cover of night and never seen since. Soon Nick is plunged into a bitter conflict, one that has been simmering for nearly two thousand years. On one side is the Maidens of Saint- Michael, les Vautours—the Vultures—a secret order of nuns and the guardians of a great truth. Pitted against them is the Vatican, which has wanted for centuries to both find and possess what the nuns guard. Because of Nick the maidens have finally been exposed, their secret placed in dire jeopardy—a vulnerability that the Vatican swiftly moves to exploit utilizing an ambitious cardinal and a corrupt archbishop, both with agendas of their own. From the tranquil canals of Ghent, to the towering bastions of Carcassonne, and finally into an ancient abbey high in the French Pyrenees, Nick Lee must confront a modern-day religious crusade intent on eliminating a shocking truth from humanity’s past. Success or failure—life and death—all turn on the Omega Factor. Read more

    • The Omega Factor
I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys historical fiction. The characters are compelling and the storyline gripping. I couldn't put it down!

    • good story
It’s always fun to read a Steve Berry book, because it mixes historical facts and myths with modern day fiction. This book had a lot of that. The most interesting of it centered around the way Mary is portrayed by the Catholic Church. There’s a lot that I didn’t know. Really interesting stuff. I won’t spoil it for you. The only problem I had with the book is the author’s continual teasing about what the secret is that is hidden in the Ghent Altar piece. He drug it out way too long ... show more

    • Not my favorite Berry book.
This book seems to me to be too much like The DaVinci Code. Some of the reviewers would have you think it surpasses it. I don't think so. I really don't like Nick he seems wishy washy always seems to be thinking instead of doing. Hides behind trees a lot. Book took a long time to get into action. Too much travel log and repetition. ... show more

    • The Omega Factor
This novel is another page-turner by Steve Berry, well -researched and well-written. It features mysterious religious groups and conventional religious groups (primarily the Catholic Church); murders; cross country journeys through the mountainous European countryside, primarily between Belgium and the south of France. It’s a fascinating read for students of art history (and who isn’t interested in art history?), since the plot revolves around one of the most famous polyptych in history, “The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb”, also known as the Ghent Altarpiece, created by the artist Jan van Eyck, and his brother Hubert during the 15th century. A very complicated painting, consisting of many panels, containing beautifully detailed figures, full of symbolism and mysterious clues about many people in the life of Jesus Christ, and the persons, groups, and religions that came after him. Obviously, I loved this book. My only complaint is that it would have been beneficial for the reader if a copy of the part of the painting being discussed could have been included on the page where it was mentioned, but maybe a deluxe copy of the book will be printed that would include that. I had to do a lot of cross referencing while reading, but I learned a great deal as a result. ... show more

    • Berry At His Best
Still, my favorite author, Steve Berry, did an outstanding job with The Omega Factor, even though he is making me wait another whole year for a Cotton Malone saga. Berry's usual beautifully crafted descriptions of cities, buildings, and scenery help place you in his tale's locations. And his skill and knack for weaving little-known fascinating and historical references into his storyline make this work well worth your time. I was held spellbound while reading due to the allusions to Jan Van Eyck's Ghent Altarpiece. I love art history, but I had never heard of this work. So, I read Berry's story with a large image of the art piece next to my Kindle screen so I could follow along. The depth of the historical and artistic references made this work worth five stars to me, bar none. What also held my interest was the story of how church fathers handled the 'creation' of Marian devotion and the weaving of Joan of Arc into this storyline. Because I loved The Omega Factor and could hardly put it down, I forgive Steve for not giving me another adventure with Cotton Malone. Nick Lee is okay, but he's no Cotton. The Omega Factor, however, is Berry at his best. ... show more
