Imagine Indiana Jones with a military edge and access to cutting-edge technology alongside decades-spanning connections—meet Ethan Cain. Even beyond Ethan Cain, the supporting characters stand out with their own unique skills, motivations, and depth. Each one adds layers to the story, making the world feel rich and the stakes even higher. They aren’t just side players—they’re memorable and essential to the adventure’s momentum and you will love (or love to hate) them all.
This nonstop globe-trotting adventure will take you from the Willow Street Synagogue in Lakewood, New Jersey to the Space Center in Houston Texas and all the way to the conflict zones of Tigray, Ethiopia and even to a remote church that I spent a lot of time down a rabbit hole learning about it. Full disclosure: I made 41 annotations throughout the book to dive deeper into the people, places, and history that Pote masterfully weaves into his narrative. The depth of research behind this debut is truly staggering.
Ryan Pote explores the complex intersections of history and religion, blending well-established facts with mysteries that historians have yet to unravel. This balance creates a story that feels both authentic and entirely believable, drawing readers into a world where the past’s secrets come alive. From the first page to the last, Blood and Treasure delivers relentless, adrenaline-fueled action that completely immerses you in its smart, cinematic world. With echoes of Clive Cussler and Dan Brown, Ryan Pote crafts a gripping, intelligent thriller that’s impossible to put down.
