Format:Hardcover
This book grabs you and is almost impossible to put down once started. An erudite, eminently readable expose of the hypocrisy and brutality of the Church presented with skill and irrefuteable logic. Probably the best and most readable account of the early years of Chrisitainity, the Knights Templar, the Grail search and the foundations of Freemasonry that has been published in one very readable volume.

I read this book as a follow-up to Knight and Lomas's 'The Hiram Key' and 'The Second Messiah', as I was fascinated by the notion of how Christian history could have been distorted by the early Christians and the true story of Jesus hidden and suppressed. Most of the book is a fascinating exploration of the Rex Deus legend, the Templars and the story of Jesus's supposed marriage to Mary Magdalene and the fate of their offspring. I found much of the book very convincing, as it is well-researched and annotated and presents a coherent and believeable story - until the last chapter. Oh dear. Suddenly, millennium fever grips the authors and the scholarly tone of the book descends into New Age mysticism and Age of Aquarius prophecies. I had been recommending the book to others up to that point, but the last chapter ruined the whole thing for me. This is a shame, because if what the book says is true (and, as I say, it is very convincing), then the history of the last 2000 years of Western society has been a complete sham. No wonder the Church is so keen to see the Dead Sea Scrolls locked away and the alternative history of the birth of Christianity kept well hidden from the eyes of the curious!

I've found this book to be an excellent and well documented resource. Scottish Freemasonry, Jesus, Mary Magdalene, Rennes-Le-Chateau, Gnosticism, Rosslyn Chapel and more are all woven together in a superb story.

good historical approach
this is not the first book written about the perspective of historical Jesus and his bloodline in terms of assembling a huge jigsaw puzzle. Read more

Reader expected to take too much on trust. Unconvincing
This book starts well and, at first, makes an enthralling read, are we to discover something? well, the answer is a disappointed no. Read more

Concise and readable
Very easy to digest with a few additional details I have not seen elsewhere (and I have read most of the books in this genre). Read more

An unbearable disappointment...
The real conspiracy at Rennes-leChateau is the plethora of authors riding the coat tails of seminal researchers. That is the case here! Read more

There are no errors in this book except this one!
This is the "two fat ladies" edition of the never ending Rennes-le-Chateau saga.
On the whole the book isn't at all bad, but only when serving as a general introduction... Read more

Turns history on its head
What this book shows us is that our accepted history may have been a total fabrication. Fascinating read. You will not want to put it down once you have started reading it. Read more
