The Royden B. Davis, S. J., Award
You are cordially invited to attend
The Royden B. Davis, S. J.,
Distinguished Author Award Presentation
honoring
Steve Berry on March 19, 2011
|
In his books, Steve Berry creates an encounter of the present with the past at times of Alexander the Great, Charlemagne and the Romanovs. Artifacts and physical geography are linked to contemporary political intrigue or to personal obsessions. His most recent work, the Emperor’s Tomb, references the time of Qin Shi who unified warring states and became its First Emperor of China. Qin Shi’s tomb, guarded by an army of terra-cotta warriors, holds an artifact that would affect the global balance of power. The plot plays out in balance between Confucian and Legalistic philosophies for the future of China. Steve Berry has 11 million books in print, translated into 37 languages and sold in 50 countries.
