Summary: 4 Stars
Unexpectedly meeting his long-lost father at the moment of a brutal attack by a would-be killer bearing the ancient mark of the biblical Cain, Cal Harper is unwittingly thrust into a high-stakes pursuit of a fortuitous enigmatic weapon that links him to the Bible's first killing as well as the murder that inspired the creation of the comic-book hero Superman. BT.
While I found the story of the creator of Superman interesting, I also found it a bit of a stretch to try to make a novel that would tie this in with the murder of Abel by Cain. That is where the creative juices of the author come in. It took quite an imagination to bring these totally unrelated events together but Brad Meltzer did it. An enjoyable thriller that seems to try a little to hard to be DaVinci code material.
Still worth your time and recommended for all fans of Brad Meltzer.
