"Kenneth
Timmerman
has wrought a
wildly inventive and highly gripping thriller that encompasses the
secret and long-hidden origins of Islam… That makes St. Peter's Bones
more than just a great novel, although it is assuredly that as well: it
is also an enlightening insight into today's increasingly
conflict-ridden relationship between Islam and the
Judeo-Christian/post-Christian West."
– Robert
Spencer, editor
of JihadWatch and author of
the New York Times bestsellers The
Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades) and The Truth About Muhammad.
“Timmerman's taboo-breaking thriller
portrays authentically the politics and passions fueling the deadly
persecution of Iraq's ancient Christian community: an unintended but
ruinous by-product of Operation Iraqi Freedom. It's a powerful book
America's political leadership on both the left and the right would
prefer
you not to read."
