I had high hopes for this book when I picked it up. Unfortunately, those expectations went unmet. It could be because this is the second fourth in a series and I haven't read the first one three. To be honest I only finished this book so I'd be able to write an honest review of it. With a title l...
A Templar legend is revealed as one man’s obsession takes him on a globe-spanning quest into the jungles of the Amazon in the new novel from New York Times bestselling author Paul Christopher… Retired Army Ranger John Holliday has thwarted the plots of Rex Deus, the twenty-first-century incarn...
This is the 6th book in Christopher's Templar series and I have enjoyed every one of them. This one takes place mostly in Russia so the frequent use of Russian dialogue seemed to slow down the pace of my reading as I tried to pronounce the Russian words & then decifer what was said. There was als...
I really enjoyed this book. It was a fast-paced thriller that took the reader to many different & little-known locations. This also gave the author a chance to give the reader some history about the locations. Some of the places had me running to the computer to see if they really existed & what ...
I have read all of Khoury’s novels and they are usually right up there with the high-energy thrillers of David Baldacci, Steven Berry and James Rollins.This one, for me, however, took a very disappointing nose-dive.Fundamentally it is about a Russian scientist who developed a fool-proof device ut...
Meh. Not nearly as well written as the first book in the series. The plot was disjointed and very difficult to follow.This series always amazes me with how many dead bodies the main character leaves behind, yet he is still free to fly back and forth between the US and Europe under his own name. H...
This third book in the trilogy falls somewhere in between the first and second book in terms of likeability and story. While it's much better than the first book, I don't know if it is better than the second one. It does have unnecessary details that add nothing to the book and i wasn't really ke...
I could not recommend this book any less. There are perhaps a few historical lessons to be learned but with the way it is presented you would be much better off (and i'm sure better informed) with a work of non fiction. The plot itself is very patchy and far too fast paced as the characters skip ...
very slow read because it was hard to get into. The premise is this Iranian bad guy trying to find a cache of old texts that he'll then use to blow the minds of the Western world, thereby causing us to collapse because Christianity has been shown to be a sham all these years. Really? Is this ...
