I noticed two things when I read . First, it was appallingly awful. Second, it was a complete rip-off of The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail. If there's any justice in this world, Baignet and Leigh will collect big time. It just might discourage future horrible Dan Brown novels, although I doubt it.

Concur on both points. I have an old copy of HBHG that I read years ago. When I first heard of DVC, it sprang to mind & I dug it out & reread portions before reading DVC. I didn't know if the original authors were even still alive, but I knew they had a great plagiarism lawsuit if they were. I was happy when they filed it. This was far more blatant than Alex Haley's Roots plagiarism.
