Review from La Librairie du Grimoire Ancien

Fernando Gamboa's The Last Crypt, translated by Sophie Martin, is a breathless archaeological thriller in the grand tradition of Indiana Jones adventures or novels by Steve Berry and James Rollins. With over 300,000 readers worldwide and translations into several languages, this international bestseller confirms its status as an addictive page-turner.

The plot is based on a fascinating premise: a bronze bell discovered in a Caribbean coral reef that calls official history into question. Gamboa masters the art of archaeological suspense, blending medieval erudition, historical enigmas, and terrifying action across three continents. The trio formed by Ulysses Vidal (globetrotting diver), Eduardo Castillo (medievalist), and Cassandra Brooks (archaeologist) offers an effective and complementary narrative dynamic.

This novel particularly resonates with the identity of Grimoire Ancien: occult secrets, buried knowledge, the quest for hidden truths in the heart of the Mexican jungle for seven centuries. Self-published (Independently published), this first volume of Ulysses Vidal's adventures launches a promising series for fans of esoteric-historical thrillers and ancestral mysteries.
