However it omitted to say this book was No. 8 in a series, and it would advisable to read the preceding books first. I finished the book , only to discover the story continues, presumably in No.9 in the series. I feel cheated that I have wasted all my time with this book when I could have been reading a different book with a proper ending. Needless to say I will not be purchasing any more of Mr Christopher's books.<br />Disgruntlednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401486042977988020.post-5224808877632630022012-08-07T15:04:16.225-05:002012-08-07T15:04:16.225-05:00I have enjoyed he previous three titles in the boo...I have enjoyed he previous three titles in the book and am reading this one at the moment . I'm in no way political or religious so I didn't notice or mind the rants .also the templar line runs through book 1-4 so I can see why it's still in the title he is the keeper of the templar fortune after allAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401486042977988020.post-54738457571889937922011-01-21T10:25:02.714-06:002011-01-21T10:25:02.714-06:00covert,

According to the book, a group of Templar Knights broke off from that group and started fighting for the other side. The bad guys in this novel are descendants/members of this "anti-Templar" group and are now known by an Arabic name. But I suppose "The Anti-Templar Conspiracy" doesn't quite have the same ring to it.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13898393424567867155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401486042977988020.post-56889534051397513092011-01-20T20:51:59.253-06:002011-01-20T20:51:59.253-06:00Just finished "Templar Conspiracy". With...Just finished "Templar Conspiracy". Without question, this is one of the most poorly written books I have ever read. A disjointed story line, no relevancy to the title (Templar may have been mentioned a few times but with no historical or factual grounding, connection, or other real context in the story). Really...this is a real waste of money and I just can' believe the advertising hype that this guy is a New York Times best selling author. Please. What a waste of time.covertnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401486042977988020.post-36689376613029283012011-01-04T09:33:35.813-06:002011-01-04T09:33:35.813-06:00Sheila,

I feel the same way about this book, so I'm not inclined to "push" people to buy it even though I think it will appeal to it's target audience. But maybe your library has this novel, and you could test it out that way.<br /><br />(BTW, I'm not recommending this author's previous novels. Based on other people's reviews, the previous novels apparently include anti-conservative politic rants. In this one, the characters are just highly cynical.)Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13898393424567867155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401486042977988020.post-53057699064363586112011-01-03T22:36:41.820-06:002011-01-03T22:36:41.820-06:00I've enjoyed James Bond ever since I started s...I've enjoyed James Bond ever since I started sneaking my granddad's library books into my room, so I guess I'd like this.Sheila Deethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13465615546936319164noreply@blogger.com
