"The Last Templar" starts with a bang; it ends stronger than a whimper, but certainly weaker than the beginning. In fact, towards the end, the book begins to show signs of a serious lack of a reality check. Although it does drag in spots and is a bit "preachy" at times, the story is good and Khoury keeps a few plot twists up his sleeve to make this a good read. While the book is strong in terms of its plot and somewhat weak on characterization, it is, nonetheless, an engaging, fast-paced read. which I found it difficult to put this book down. Those who loved Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code" should enjoy this book, as well. One should, however, as with "The Da Vinci Code", read this action-packed thriller with the understanding that it is simply fiction. ( )

Eh...

Indeed this was different read, and a hard one to be honest, the writer really knows how to write a really excitement novel, of course I have many disagreements with the writer's main idea, but still I enjoyed it very much ( )

En plena exposición de los tesoros del Vaticano en el Metropolitan Museum de Nueva York, un grupo de hombres a caballo, vestidos como caballeros templarios, irrumpe a sangre y fuego y se apodera de varias reliquias. Entre los asustados testigos está Tess Chaykin, una joven arqueóloga que enseguida sospecha de los verdaderos motivos del asalto. Uno de los objetos que se han llevado los asaltantes contiene la clave para sacar a la luz un secreto que permanece oculto desde que el último templario dejó Tierra Santa, llevando consigo un cargamento de incalculable poder. El mismo secreto que llenó de terror a la Iglesia y que precipitó la destrucción brutal de la Orden del Temple en 1312. Un misterio que cambiará completamente nuestro mundo si sale a la luz. Con la ayuda del curtido agente del FBI Sean Reilly, Tess se embarca en una carrera contra el tiempo para recuperar la reliquia antes de que sea demasiado tarde.
