 The Last Templar April 10, 2007

A complete waste of time. Despite the spectacular beginning, the story line is very thin, the characters are psychologically unconvincing, the plot involves too many coincidences and is far removed from reality. And above all, the writer shows very little understanding of the nature of Christian faith and dogma; trying, for instance, to make out that 1 billion Christians would reel back in horror and renounce their faith if they were told that Jesus wrote a diary and that he was human is ludicrous. And the idea of the Vatican as a corrupt and hypocritical bunch of swindlers who have highly-trained killers like Monsignor De Angelis in their employ is just hopeless.

I thoroughly enjoyed this Audio Book. The Author has cleverly managed to combine modern New York's underworld with Medieval history in an intertwined plot that held my attention all the way through.
Alot of Historical information is brought to the forefront of the listeners mind which i found enlightening. The air of mystery that has always surrounded The Knights Templar is given a credible explanation.Terrific.

 A Secret that Should Stay Hidden? August 13, 2006

Another author I have not read before. I know that the author is a screenwriter, whose current credits include the BBC spy thriller, Spooks. I am not sure if this is his first novel, but anyway thank goodness for new authors, particularly when they can write books as good as this one.
The year is 1291, a lonely ship sets sail from the harbour of Acre. On board is a small party of Templar Knights and a bound chest that has been entrusted to them by the Order's Grand Master. They are leaving a city in flames, and under the onslaught of the Sultan's men. The ship vanishes from the face of the earth . . .
The time moves swiftly forward to present day America. At the Metropolitan Museum in New York, four mounted men dressed in the old fashioned garb of Knights Templars make a savage attack at an exhibition of Vatican treasures and escape with a medieval decoder.
This is the beginning of the story that will take an FBI agent and a female archaeologist half way round the world in an attempt to solve a centuries old mystery, while at the same time trying to stay alive . . .
If you like this type of book and there are a few about, not to mention the Da Vinci Code. This is one of the better ones. An entertaining and enjoyable read.
