The search for the biggest secret on Earth has begun.

  • WINNER: Pinnacle Book Achievement Award, Winter 2021 – Best Thriller

“The suspense is monumental, the story never slows down, and it has that magic gift of blurring the lines of the seemingly impossible with something that almost feels like it could be based on absolute truth (AKA, The Da Vinci Code).” ~ Feathered Quill Book Reviews, Amy Lignor, TRUE HIGH-FIVE

When Jennifer Porter's father dies from a mysterious illness, she inherits a 400-year-old book, titled Aldaraia sive Soyga voco'r, written in an unknown language that her father had been trying to decode before his death. With no idea where to start, Jennifer turns to the esteemed Yale professor, Matthew Bishop for help, and the two form an unlikely friendship as they begin to unlock the book's secrets.

They soon discover vital components have been omitted, and embark upon a global search for a series of hidden scrolls destined to solve one of the world's greatest mysteries. Yet Jennifer and Bishop are not the only ones interested in the book's secrets, and their quest becomes a dangerous and terrifying race against time.

“Burt Clinchandhill is a great storyteller with a unique gift for elegant prose, great dialogues, and characters that arrest the attention of readers. The story is fast-paced and the tension ramps up pretty fast, escalating towards a delightful and explosive conclusion.” ~ Readers’ Favorite Book Reviews, Romuald Dzemo, 5 STARS

EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS the first book in the "Matthew Bishop" series of religious conspiracy thrillers.

“Burt Clinchandhill takes Aldaraia to a whole new level of gripping reads, being one of those rarities where you know you will love the book after reading just a few pages.” ~ Readers’ Favorite Book Reviews, Steven Robson, 5 STARS

“Aldaraia is a riveting ‘must-read’ for anyone who likes adventure, religious mysteries, and conspiracies similar to The Da Vinci Code.” ~ Readers’ Favorite Book Reviews, Michelle Stanley, 5 STARS

Product description

About the Author

AUTHOR: Dutch renowned author, Burt Clinchandhill, discovered his passion for writing at a young age. Despite past career detours, his love for worldbuilding and the written word were rekindled into a furious blaze. He has since penned his acclaimed political thriller, "Kursk," its equally compelling sequel, "47 Hours," and the third book in the "James Mitchel" series, "The Mogadishu Encounter." His irrefutable fascination for credible stories and true events is evident throughout all his fictional works, which now includes the "Matthew Bishop" series of historical conspiracy mysteries / religious thrillers from Evolved Publishing. Clinchandhill now writes full-time in the Netherlands, with his beautiful wife of 20 years. In his spare time, he enjoys sipping tea with a good book and delving into his own adventures out on open waters.

EDITOR: I was born a bibliophile, but it wasn't until high school that I discovered my knack for editing and decided I wanted to edit fiction. I love the feel of a book in my hands, and I may or may not be one of those crazy book sniffers. In my spare time (which is in short supply), I enjoy playing board games and card games with my husband and two teen boys, perusing antique shops, and, of course, reading. What I love most about editing is cultivating relationships with authors. I feel fortunate to be able to share in their creative vision as an editorial partner. I am inspired by their dedication and I enjoy helping them achieve their goals.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Dutch-born, award-winning author Burt Clinchandhill, Wrote his first short stories in his teens. Early on he left his writing passion pursuing a career in photography and later on made several career changes. After almost 30 years, he returned to writing with his first novel, Kursk, the tragedy of 118 men. A thriller based on true facts.

After one-year Clinchandhill's came back with his second political thriller, 47 Hours, again inspired by true events about a coup against Hugo Chavez. Using a creative blend of fact and fiction, drama, and dialogue, Clinchandhill always touches the core of an adventure that will keep the reader chained to the story from beginning to end.

After the success of 'Kursk' and 47 Hours, the author brought back his fictional character James Mitchel for his third and final venture into the political intrigues that inspire Clinchandhill's passionate work, The Mogadishu Encounter.

Currently, Clinchandhill's newest edition to his work is his latest Matthew Bishop trilogy, created in a different genre of conspiracy thrillers/religious mysteries. After Aldaraia and Lemuria the third part, Atacama is expected in the fall of 2021.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's OK +
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 July 2021
Verified Purchase
The lead character, Bishop, I would want to punch in the face on occasions, if he were real. This may be what the writer wanted from his lead character, but sometimes he is annoying and too condescending for me. Apart from that, it has so far, been an OK plus read. Not my favourite and definitely not my worse. 3 out of 5 a fair review
