The excerpt on Google Books only goes up to page 47, which is really where the Internet research peters out and it (presumably) starts to get interesting – but if you’d like to read it and review it, I’d be delighted to post your comments here. :-)

And yes, people do read these comments. Really! :-)

Anyway, it is here: http://books.google.de/books?id=0ZECGBhCXXkC Even a necessarily brief examination of this book indicates that it might be much better than assumed based on the Amazon blurb....

Mystikthriller is a German translation of a novel in Greek, 'The Prague Manuscript' by Panagiotis Konidaris. Here's a translation of the Amazon entry, along with some stuff from the author's blog. 'The Voynich manuscript is the only document which has yet to be deciphered by anyone. As it rests today in its velvet sheath in the rare manuscript library ofYale University, a series of ritual murders, starting with the bookbinder Orpheus Paleologos' beloved uncle, shock the whole of Europe. Orpheus Paleologos goes to study this mysterious manuscript,as it refers to a centuries-old secret message. Now a game of chess begins that takes him from Monemvasia and Rome to Prague, in a race against the clock. The Vatican and the secret federation of the Carbonari are involved. As the historic ball around the Voynich Manuscript unrolls before our eyes, crusaders and monks, scientists and magicians, adventurers and emperors emerge. With the help of the Prague historian Sarka Bilek, Orpheus investigates the secret message of the Manuscript with the tenacity of a chess player, while he fights against the demons of his past, which emerge again and again in his sleep and ultimately in his waking life. When the last veil is lifted, nothing will be like it once was anymore. What does the Voynich Manuscript hide? And who will survive to tell humanity? . An exciting mystical thriller, which captivates its readers from the first to the last page like no other book.' Orpheus Paleologos is obviously an apt name for the hero! The game of chess is involved too. The author's blog entry on the book: http://konidaris.blogspot.com/2007/08/blog-post_03.html Das Voynich Manuskript.
