Review
'A major twist midway through the story . . . the puzzles are so much fun . . . radical thinking of the Gospels that's sure to spark some lively debate . . . pretty grabby stuff'
(Wall Street Journal )'Not to be missed. Anagrams and complicated symbology abound, and comparisons to The Da Vinci Code are inevitable, but Berry distinguishes himself with a complex, well-written, and extremely readable story.'
(Library Journal )'Writes with the self-assured style of a veteran'
(Dan Brown on Steve Berry )'Steve Berry is a writer on the rise.' (David Morrell, author of NIGHTSCAPE and CREEPERS )
'Conspiracies and plots abound . . . Berry handles his thriller tradecraft skilfully, [and] his descriptions are stellar.' (Booklist on THE THIRD SECRET )
'Sexy, illuminating . . . my kind of thriller.' (Dan Brown on THE AMBER ROOM )
'International intrigue, swashbuckling action, indestructible hero from the American South. . . . Not to be missed.' (Kirkus Reviews, on THE ROMANOV PROPHECY )
'Pure intrigue. Pure fun.'
(Clive Cussler on Steve Berry )'Pacy, action packed and intriguing' (Adelaide Advertiser )
'Steve Berry has a knack for tackling historical mysteries...Fabulous!' (Woman's Day, Australia )
'A seamless blend of fact and fiction...a first-class thriller...gripping...enlightening' (Waikato Times, NZ )
Product Description
The ancient order of the Knights Templar possessed untold wealth and absolute power, until the Inquisition destroyed them and their riches were lost forever.
But some people don't believe in 'forever'.
Ex-agent Cotton Malone used to work for Stephanie Nelle in the US Justice Department. Now Nelle wants his help to crack a series of puzzles that have confounded experts for centuries - and could lead to the legendary lost treasure of the Knights Templar.
But someone else is on the trail - someone prepared to commit the ultimate crime to win the ultimate prize. Malone and Nelle find themselves in a heart-stopping race through the villages, castles and cloisters of Europe in pursuit of a secret that, in the wrong hands, could bring the world to its knees.

I had already read and enjoyed two of Steve Berry's thrillers but the Templar Legacy really outshines them. Steven Berry had become better and better with each of his novels. From page one the reader gets hooked and swept into the story. There is not a single moment of boredom waiting for you, the story develops sytematically and the surprises are not coming out of the blue. The personalities are well descripted and one feels very comfortable with them. One can understand. The message is powerful too. Till the very last the tension is kept.
While reading I was reading this book I was always annoyed when I had to stop... It is a real page turner and the best book I have read for a long time. My only regret: it had to cme to an end! Thanks very much Mr Berry for the thrilling time yu gave me.
I would love to have given it more than 5 stars....
You will enjoy this book!!!

Having just finished Steve Berry's The Third Secret and being really impressed with it I decided to read this one straight away. It is a thing I normally never do, read two books by the same author straight after one another, because I am constantly comparing the two books in my mind and it takes away some of the freshness of the novel.
The Templar Legacy is in the same mould as The Third Secret, but there the comparison ends. The book is a gutsy suspense story and makes no apologies for being so. The writing is I feel better than Dan Brown's, although that is not a criticism of Mr. Brown. I enjoyed the Da Vinci Code and Digital Fortress enormously.
Whenever a book is said to contain mysterious codes or people having to trace back to ancient cults and religions, as with the Templars, readers tend to lump them with the Da Vinci Code, but this book stands tall on its own plot and the writing expertise of Steve Berry. I can only recommend it. I am sure you will enjoy it.

I came across this book by accident and I'm glad I did. This isn't another so-so conspiracy story written in the Da Vinci Code vein. This is an intelligent, well researched book with strong characterisations and is actually centred on the enigma surrounding Berenger Sauniere. The story takes place in and around Rennes le Chateau. It's a good yarn that won't disappoint and in my opinion outshines Dan Brown's book.
