4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, 9 Nov 2005
By S. Mazumder "s_maz" - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Last Templar (Paperback)
In Raymond Khoury's 'The Last Templar' we begin with an exciting armed robbery of a Vatican exhibition at the Met in New York, by four horseman dressed as knights. An unusual start, but sets the tone for an entertaining book.

In the story we follow historian Tess Chayki and FBI agent Reilly as they are on a quest to find the thieves. But they become involved in something that is much more important than a mere robbery, but something that will shake the Vatican's foundations.

The story is a novel one, but nothing too surprising with conspiracy stories that are around these days. I did enjoy the mixture of the crime story set with a historical backdrop. And the flashbacks to olden times with the Knights Templar themselves in action was enjoyable. The story does lose pace a little towards the end and becomes more of a love story than an adventure chase.

But I enjoyed this, and would recommend it as a fun read.

4.0 out of 5 stars A present day threat from medieval times, 18 Mar 2006
By normngrey "normngrey" (South, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This book starts off with a robbery of a museum show as a cover to smoething else. At first the robbery is viewed as just that until a witness who is an archaeologist mentions her obersavtions in passing to the FBI agent in charge. The search for help uncovers the villain of the piece and sets in train a race to Turkey for something which threatens all religion via targetting of the Vatican and the catholic faith. There are fill-ins from notes of a Templar to help understand the race.
The end is quite good but a bit hollywood sweet and is in ways a neat tidying up. Saying anymore could ruin the plot.

There is a lot here a reader might recognise from the Da Vinci Code and similar books. It is a solid read which runs well. Pay attention and you won't be let down. A worthy read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the Da Vinci Code, 9 Mar 2006
By A Customer
How I wish I hadn't read The Da Vinci Code... Every story in this genre is now always going to suffer by comparison, and in many ways this is a better book. Raymond Khoury is an experienced scriptwriter and it really shows in the brilliant plotting of this book. It's fast-paced, and you can really imagine the story making a great movie! The characters are drawn with gusto, though sometimes the distinction between the "good guys" and the "bad guys" is just a little clichéd. The ultimate secret contained in the Templar manuscripts (yes, it is revealed...!) is both fascinating and thought provoking, and the journey, both physical and emotional, undertaken by the main protagonists in discovering it is truly page-turning stuff. My only real problem is with the ending of the book. It's literally a cliffhanger (no, I won't spoil it...), and personally I'd rather have seen things getting a bit less "wet". I do seriously urge you to read the book though - and you'll know what I mean!
