    About this audiobook

    In the final days of World War II, an Irish soldier discovers a cache of artifacts in an Austrian cave that threatens to expose long-buried secrets of the Catholic Church. Secrets that prove the Druids of Ireland did not die out; they were systematically exterminated in cold blood. However, the secret will stay buried within the walls of the soldier’s home for another fifty years before it is brought to light by his son, a modern-day proponent of the Druids’ enlightened, pacifist culture.

    Armed with the evidence and the conviction to expose the Church’s conspiracy, the soldier’s son, a Supreme Court justice, forms an unlikely alliance with a healer, a linguist, and a Boston attorney to bring the Vatican to trial. As the action races from the corridors of the White House and the United States Supreme Court to Dublin’s halls of academia and the secretive back passages in Rome, the Church will stop at nothing to silence the voices of the past.

      Good idea bad execution.

      I almost stopped reading this about a quarter of the way through. But, in the sprit of fairness I kept going hoping it would get better. It didn't.

      Should be a 1 star review but I gave it an extra star because the central idea of the plot could have made a good book. Alas it didn't.

      Not recommended.

      Ahhh Constantine and his shenanigans ... The Celtic Conspiracy reminds us that so much trouble they have caused that even today the Vatican is still swept up in the misbehavior begun in the mid 4th century! The secrecy and the lies continue. No surprise there.The world has long known of these flaws and continue to flock to the church run by the Vatican, by the Pope. This story follows a story that begins with the Druids being run out of their own lands by Constantine. and the spiritual connection with the land theat they taught and practiced began to unravel. This unraveling affects us even today, as the Vatican and Christian churches attempt to quelch and hide any worship of earth and sky. They are not completely successful, but there are few, enough who remember....the battle is not completely lost, Not yet. This is the story of Druids who were run out of their homes, killed in great numbers, and a way of life that was systematically destroyed under the guise of religion. Sounds familiar doesn't it? Thesethings continue to go on today. People killed for believing what someone else with more fire powerdoes not. A thread that runs through time. Is there a way to turn back time? Is there a way to restore the truth, the connection with Mother Earth,and to strengthen the connection between living things? Why, yes! There just might be! This is a book described as similar in some ways to the Da Vinci Code and so it is. A secret held for close to two thousand years needs to be brought out, so that each man, each woman can choose in their own timeand in their own way, which path they choose to follow. How will it end? You might be surprised.
