Book Overview
Valerie Foret--archeologist and heir to a terrifying task--returns in a powerful desert adventure set in Egypt and Jerusalem, in both modern and medieval times. On the eve of the release of Valerie Foret's great chronicle, Valerie learns that hers is not the 100th generation of the prophecy at all. In grappling with a mysterious and lethal opponent, Valerie witnesses the horrors of the first Crusade in which her ancestors, both innocent and malevolent, have carried out a drama identical to her own. The weapon that succeeded then and now threatens once again is the terrible power of faith. Will the outcome be the same? In the course of fleeing the forces of violent fundamentalism, Valerie, a westerner, and Najya Khoury, an Arab-Israeli, fall in love and find out just how dangerous it is to challenge accepted "truth."

Sequel is a must read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This second book continues the adventures of the first. The setting is in Egypt and descriptions are so vivid I can picture in my mind. This is well worth the time and you will love it. I hope to see a third in this series.
Entertaining and Thought-provoking

After reading The 100th Generation: The Ibis Prophecy Book One (Ibis Prophecy)I couldn't wait to read Vulture's Kiss, the sequel which proved to be even more of a page turner. I enjoyed it immensely. It continues the adventures of Egyptologist Valerie Foret and even weaves in two romances separated by a thousand years - but it is so much more than that. Effortlessly, Vulture's Kiss, so thoroughly researched, examines religious dogma from the time of the crusades right up to the present day, with insight, knowledge and flair. Saracen points the finger at militarism from the three main monotheist religions and shows some of the negative consequences, yet she serves this up as a delightfully palatable and easy read. I couldn't put this book down. I also think it would make a wonderful, thought-provoking movie.
