Editorial Reviews
Move over, Indiana Jones! There’s another swashbuckling hero in town!
Gods In The Ruins: A Vatican Archives Thriller by E. R. Barr is the fantastic debut to a genre-blending new series. The protagonist, Fr. Daniel Azar, is not your average priest. He’s also a trained archeologist and the godson of the current pope. But his story begins years earlier. As a Chaldean Christian in Iraq, Daniel had an unusual upbringing. At the age of eight, he was entrusted with a priceless gift – a ring that once belonged to King Nebuchadnezzar II. Daniel soon learns that this is no ordinary piece of jewelry, and there are many who would kill to have it. Fast forward to the present, and Daniel’s parents uncover an opulent Babylonian tomb. Inside the structure, they find a tablet with a shocking apocalyptic prophecy etched into its surface. Daniel senses that the discovery has something to do with him and his mysterious ring. With human and supernatural forces pursuing him, can the young clergyman survive multiple attempts on his life?
A must-read for Occult Horror and edgy Thriller fans it is unreservedly recommended.
Here, Barr’s command of genre technique is masterful as he teases his readers with frissons of terror and demonic manifestations that are wholly chilling and for readers who got hooked on Gods In The Ruins, Beneath The Bishop’s Bones will likely exceed their expectations and leave them eagerly anticipating book three.

A highly imaginative supernatural thriller
Beneath the Bishop’s Bones: A Vatican Archives Thriller, by E.R. Barr, is a highly imaginative supernatural thriller, that will keep you guessing until the very end. The book is actually the second in this series, but can be read alone without its predecessor. This fast paced and captivating read drew me in from the very first page. The historical and Catholic elements really keep it authentic, and the deeply intriguing characters make the story even more engaging.
Barr is a brilliant author who pens twists and turns from start to finish. I couldn’t put it down. It’s easy to read and humorous in all the right places. While there are many Biblical references throughout, the storyline remains action packed. What a fantastic Good vs Evil tale, that is such a great mix of history and theology, soaked in fantasy.
