Edward's intrigue becomes an obsession that only deepens as friends draw him into a peculiar and addictive computer game, as mystifying parallels between the game's virtual reality and the legend of the codex emerge and the lines between reality, fantasy and mysterious legend start to blur ...

Codex Reviews

A compulsively readable novel * Iain Pears *
A genuine treat, with its sneaky plot and richly textured storytelling. It also moves so fast that readers won't realize how smart it is * San Francisco Chronicle *
Codex takes its place on the shelf [with] The Name of the Rose, Possession and A Case of Curiosities, and it's as entertaining as any of them * New York Times *
Fabulously entertaining ... By turns fascinating, compelling, and deliciously disturbing. It's an intelligent thriller that truly is just that: intelligently thrilling * Boston Globe *
Mesmerizing from start to finish ... A fabulous double-helix of a novel * Baltimore Sun *
