Summary: Another Templar conspiracy novel.
Setting: Present day and Medieval Europe and Middle East
Plot: At an archaeological dig in Turkey, clues are found to a Templar treasure. FBI Agent Reilly is involved when his ex-girlfriend is kidnapped by a terrorist who is following the clues to the lost treasure, which could topple the Catholic Church.
Criticisms: A couple of plot holes, a character or two who completely disappear. A bit jumpy in some of the transitions to flashbacks.
Wrap-up: Khoury is an author who’s trying to cash in on the popularity of Dan Brown’s DaVinci Code. His transitions are a bit rough, and this series can be a bit plodding at times, but does a halfway competent job of keeping the books moving.
Having said that, I keep reading this series. Maybe I’m a just glutton for punishment.
Grade: By my arbitrary scale, I give this book a C+.
