Turning the Templar Key March 12, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Looked forward to sitting down to a riveting good read and was not disappointed - at first. Just to get us in the mood we begin with a detailed overview of the Templars and their history, which is all good stuff but nothing any Templar fan doesn't already know. Nontheless the links or otherwise to Freemasonry are viewed objectively and give pause for thought. We continue through the escape to Scotland, the Templar fleet, Rosslyn and we have a detailed synopsis on the St Clairs. The research and interpretation of that research is superb and for me it's a page turner.
Alas we then begin to lose the plot as we travel through spirals, lozenges and the history of farming. Any Lomas fan can read the same in his various other publications but let's get back to the Templars. Sadly we don't as we labour through tribes of women, mitochrondial dna and the harvest godess. We are uplifted in the last chapter as some sort of sense is made of it all and one is left to draw ones own conclusions - which is exactly as it should be.
All in all a decent read but I felt the book went off on an unnecessary tangent and was slow to get back on course - if it ever did.
