Sounds a lot like Umberto Eco's "Foucault's Pendulum". I found that a really fun read. The main plot is based on a centuries old conspiracy by templars and the like, and the YHWH based reordering of the name of God is central to part of the book. Looks like someone's trying to get money easily :) Unless it's the same book and the publisher decided it would sell better with an anglo saxon name on it ? :) -- Vincent Penquerc'h
