By the title of this book you would think that there would be more about the involvement of the Knights Templar and The Holy Grail, but there is very little mention of either.

There is a good deal of information on Rennes Le Chateau, however you can find any of the information in this book in any other book that is about the Rennes mystery, without having to deal with the author talking in circles and repeating himself.

It seems to me that the author wrote the book more to give his opinion on other authors, which I find extremely disappointing to say the least.

Not worth the effort to read it!

This is a very interesting and entertaining read, but based on conjecture and falsehoods. It is a FICTION novel that has been portrayed as fact. None of this has been proven.
The book is actually drawing on a small connection between the Knights Templar and their connection with the Cathars (a dualist religious sect that was annihilated by the Catholic church as heretics). The connection is weak at best.
The book should be classified as historical fiction. An average read in that category. But as a supposed non-fiction book it rates only a 1 because it is false.
So, average rating, a 2, but that is generous considering the fact that it is really a bunch of lies based on a few facts. I say it often and I will say it again; mixing fact with fiction just makes factual fiction and therefore it is just fiction.
