Publisher Description

The first thrilling novel in Raymond Khoury’s New York Times bestselling Templar series. In 1291, a young Templar knight flees the fallen holy land in a hail of fire and flashing sword, setting out to sea with a mysterious chest entrusted to him by the Order's dying grand master. The ship vanishes without a trace. In present day Manhattan, four masked horsemen dressed as Templar Knights stage a bloody raid on the Metropolitan Museum of Art during an exhibit of Vatican treasures. Emerging with a strange geared device, they disappear into the night. The investigation that follows draws archaeologist Tess Chaykin and FBI agent Sean Reilly into the dark, hidden history of the crusading knights—and into a deadly game of cat and mouse with ruthless killers—as they race across three continents to recover the lost secret of the Templars.

"Great history of the Knights Templar, geography, Early Christian church history.....crime, murder, suspense, recommend it as a change of pace. It actually dovetails nicely with the other book I am reading.Finished this one while waiting for a helicopter flight for work.... "

    " this book had a lot of hype surrounding it, and i have to be honest, i wasn't that crazy about it... i liked the plot, the way the story was set, and most of the main characters... i really thought the ending sucked bigtime though. "

    " Four men on horse back dressed as Templar Knights stage a bloody raid on the Metropolitan Museum of Art during an exhibit of lost Vatican Treasures. An FBI agent, Sean, and archeologist, Tess, work closely to find why these men took a strange geared device. As the investigation continues so do the killings, lies, and mysteries. In a desperate attempt to discover the archeological find of a lifetime the investigation moves to Turkey where Tess and Sean learn who really is friend and foe. Could things not be what meets the eye? Could they uncover the greatest hoax the Vatican has ever pulled off? It is a race between time and near certain death to find the answers to hundreds of questions. I thought this book was very interesting. It definitely made me think. There were lots of twists and turns in this fast passed story. This would be a great book for anyone looking for an adventure book set in present day with some interesting history mixed in. "

    " If you have read Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code or Angels and Demons, this is only a shade of those two. Entertaining to a point but follows the same old outline of trying to disprove religion. In my opinion, was not written at a high level. "
