After nearly losing his life in Africa, retired Army Ranger and historian John Holliday is ready for some R&R back in the U.S. But when a disheveled Russian called Genrikhovich intercepts him in the airport, Holliday's homecoming will have to wait.

Genrikhovich claims to know of a long-lost sword called Aos-the companion to Holliday's own Templar sword.

It's not that I didn't like this book, because I did. And there was never a time where I got bored with the story. But I truly would have liked to have seen more in depth into what the religious artifact really was that was finally discovered. The story concentrates on the search and politics of those opposed to the artifact ever being found or if found, what they wish to do with it based on what they BELIEVE this artifact actually is. I have no issues with the characters that are portrayed, they are not your normal cast of international spies and Assassins. They are more human.

Hmmm, I don't know. It was a good book. I just found that I wanted more.

I will read the next book that is to be released in June though. And I think there was a book prior to this one.

It is a good book. It was worth the money, and well worth the read. Just I wanted more.

It really bothers me when authors can't keep their stories straight. In one place, the Russian museum curator's wife is said to have left town for greener pastures after the USSR dissolved. Not 20 pages later we read about her being killed in a train explosion. Which is it? In another place, a book is described as 18 inches long and a foot and a half wide. ARRGHHH!
It was a good story, but the devil's in the details.

I've read all the templer series books and enjoyed them greatly. the "RED TEMPLER"
is no exception. From the very first pages to the last pages I could hardly put it down. I can't wait for the next book in the series to come out in June-"VALLEY OF THE TEMPLERS". Paul Christopher is becoming one of my favorite writers
