Product Description
The hidden hand which rules history . . .
Army Ranger John Holliday has made it his life's mission to unlock the secrets of the ruthless, ancient Templar Order, who are as renowned for their hidden wealth and power as for their desperate secrecy.
In The Templar Throne his quest has him crisscrossing Europe and the US hunting for the True Ark - a box reputed to hold precious holy relics and the Templars' most powerful secrets. But Holliday's hunt is also a deadly chase.
On the trail of the relics are the Vatican Secret Service, the CIA and an arcane brotherhood of Templar descendants who know just how much power the Ark holds.
And they'll kill anyone in their way . . .

I thought that Templar Throne was definitely a da Vinci Code rip off, not that da Vinci Code is brilliant either. The author even has his characters criticise da Vinci Code in this novel which is really ironic. However, I was sort of putting up with the story until I reached the chapter where the main characters visited St Michael's Mount and paid their entrance fee in Euros. Er, the currency is pounds in the UK Mr Christopher. I was willing to suspend my belief but then a helicopter full of SO19 officers start pursuing them which one character tells the other are the British equivalent of a SWAT unit in the USA. Er, SO19 became CO19 in 2005 (Templar Throne was written in 2010) and are part of the Metropolitan Police Force anyway so they are unlikely to be found at St Michael's Mount as the Devon and Cornwall Police are the local police force. It's like finding LAPD running round the streets of New York. Then they meet an Irish fisherman who helps them because he tells them that he hates Limeys. Everyone knows that Limey is a slang term that Americans use for British people. An Irishman would never call someone from the UK a Limey; he would call them a Brit.
I don't know how accurate Mr Christopher's 'facts' about the Knights Templar, the crusades etc were but when I read inaccurate stuff in the rest of the book, it kind of calls into question everything else that I have read. Why don't authors just double check their facts and why don't publishers run a quality check on this sort of thing?

An excellent read,Historically accurate for those with the interest in this subject,the battle scenes were as one expects from such an accomplished author.Take it on holiday.
Format:Paperback
is a quote from page 348 but lo and behold on page 354 they do!
This book is written for people with the intelligence of, i would say, an eleven year old and someone who is prepared to accept not just the amazing coincidence of meeting the nun early on but also an amazing confidence in virtually every chapter. What annoys me is the writers of books like this treat their readers as idiots; this 'treasure' was lost 700 years ago and they find all of the links to it in a few days. the chap who meets up with the nun, ex soldier, taught at west point, very perceptive etc, does not realise he is being led on a wild goose chase, shame on him! don't bother with this book, it is not worth it
