Lädt ... The Sword of the Templars (2009)von Paul Christopher
![]() Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. An ok story, but the constant barrage of (often unneeded) facts and pop culture references became a bit tedious after a while. Also, the book was published in 2009 and set in 'present day', but whilst in Britain the author makes a couple of references to British Rail - which ceased to exist in the mid 1990's. And, a full English breakfast does not consist of egg and chips, just for the record. ( ![]() The Deadliest Weapon is the Truth A fairly standard modern-day-thriller-chasing-ancient-treasures story. It's done competently, if not overly compelling. It's no Dan Brown novel for sure, but it's short and fast-paced enough to be interesting. pretty good - a little confusing at times though It was an entertaining read. Not earth-shattering brilliant literature, but it was packed with action and adventure and to be honest the end left me wanting more. I won't be disappointed as there are a string of these novels that I assume follows the characters introduced in this one. Another novel or two in and I might rethink this opinion- it might leave me singing higher praises or bemoaning the fact I got sucked into more. I'm a sucker for anything 'templar'- be it based in historical fact or tales that delve more into the realm of alternate history. I would say this one comes out with a mix of historical fact and the fantasy inspired by Dan Brown's books on the templars. If you are willing to tolerate these things side by side, you will enjoy this. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
