For those who love myths and legends from long ago or enjoy a treasure hunt, this book should be on your list to read. I enjoyed this book and I liked the little things that separated the book from the others. The book raised a number of questions, but didn’t actually challenge Christian beliefs which it could so easily have done. I love when a book makes me question certain beliefs.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley.

I love Glenn Cooper but this book failed to engage with me, maybe the subject matter, maybe the long historic chapters, I was bored and couldn’t wait to get to the end which turned out to be an anticlimax. His later books are much better.

A beautifully written and atmospheric novel that blends suspense, emotion, and just the right touch of mystery. From the very first page, I was drawn into the world the author created—rich in detail, layered with secrets, and driven by characters who felt authentic and emotionally complex.

The pacing was well-balanced, with enough intrigue to keep me turning pages, and the writing style was elegant without being overly ornate. I especially appreciated the emotional depth of the protagonist and the way the story unfolded with subtle tension rather than dramatic twists.

This is a book that lingers after the final page—thoughtful, immersive, and quietly powerful. I would absolutely recommend it to readers who enjoy character-driven suspense with a literary edge.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this advance copy.

I loved this... until the end. The end completely ruined it. Total cop out and not satisfying AT ALL. 😭🤦‍♀️

Until the end it was really interesting and I loved the writing and the subject matter. For the modern timeline at least. I'm not a big fan of the annoying dual timeline fad these days, and in this book it was completely unnecessary and really boring. The sections in the past really really dragged the book down.

Still would have given a 3.5 or even 4 star rating though if it weren't for that *ridiculous* ending. 🤦‍♀️

Glen Cooper’s The Resurrection Maker delivers a gripping cloak-and-dagger adventure, mixing intricate plotting with real-world references that ground the reader in a convincing sense of place and time. As a fan of Cooper’s work—and with The Last Conclave and The Sins of the Flesh ranking among my favourite reads this summer—I approached this title with high expectations.

The novel’s well-played-out narrative brims with twists and turns, expertly keeping suspense taut from start to finish. Cooper’s signature ability to interweave historical intrigue with present-day stakes is on full display here, ensuring that the story feels both imaginative and plausibly anchored in reality.

However, The Resurrection Maker fell just short of earning a full five stars for me. Unlike Cooper’s previous works, which offered the kind of definitive closure I have come to enjoy, this book left some threads unresolved, making the ending feel somewhat open. This may appeal to some readers, but it left me wishing for a more conclusive finale.

Despite this, I have no hesitation in recommending The Resurrection Maker to anyone who loves a smart, suspenseful adventure filled with layers of deception and historical mystery. It’s a solid four-star read and a worthy addition to Cooper’s body of work. My thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing this free copy to review.

This book had a fun concept but the writing didn’t grab me the way I wanted it to. Not sure if it was the writing style or the subject matter, but something didn’t quite click for me.

I’ve read Coopers other books and liked them. This book is well written. However, I did not care for the subject matter and his interpretation. I found it sacroreligious.

Interesting, imaginative plot. Search for the holy Grail by opposing forces and interests. Malory was a well developed and intriguing main character.

A Grail quest novel which was excellent.
Arthur Malory, a descendant of the Malory who wrote Mort d' Arthur, renews the quest that his ancestor attempted.
An exciting novel with a brilliant story and characters, especially Arthur.
An unusual piece of writing and I was put off right at the beginning by the bit about a supernova, but I decided that I would read a bit more and I am so glad I did.
Five stars fot this novel and if I could give it more stars, then I would.
