review 1: This barely received that second star... Why the two stars? It is what it is... an action Dan Brownish-Tom Clancy thing. The villain knows everything - and is pretty dumb in my opinion, could have had the heroes offed on multiple occasions. Names.... why are the names of the ...

review 1: Paul Christopher’s Red Templar is a well written novel, in places the prose is without doubt superb. The story veritably gallops along with only one short hiatus where it gets briefly bogged down about two-thirds in. I personally would have preferred a little more detail and expa...

review 1: This one was really disappointing compared to the others in the series. While it has the same main characters, it really has nothing to do with the Templars. They're pretty much just a side note. It seems the author wanted to write about the conflicts in Africa and how bad certai...

review 1: This book was a random pick from the shelf as I wanted something different to read other than sci-fi or fantasy which I really enjoy reading but need a break from, and I really enjoyed reading it. The plot was good and I like the historic back ground that was used as well. The on...

review 1: As far as conspiracy thrillers, this is okay. Infinitely better than Dan Brown, but suffers on a few big points:1) Too many Deus ex machina moments. 2) I have no problem buying into the Rex Deus/Desposynii narrative. I'm all for it. I just had to call "bulls***" on equating ...

review 1: This one just didn't click with me. The "logical" conclusions that lead the main characters into their decisions seemed more like a leap of faith rather than deductions, and the global conspiracy leading to assassinations along with the reasoning behind them just made me want th...

review 1: The fourth book continues the Manchurian Candidate-esque story from the previous book, and it literally opens with a bang: the Pope is assassinated. Like in the second book, Templars are tangential to the plot, but Holliday works in opposition to the Rex Deus cabal introduced in...

review 1: I've gone through the first six books in this series in the same number of days. At first the minor errors and inconsistencies (especially when it comes to weapons and the military) were minor detractions from a mediocre plot. Still, I enjoyed the different areas the author wro...

review 1: If you are going to write a book called "The Aztec Heresy" at least do the small amount of research needed to tell the difference between the Aztec and Mayan cultures. I'm not talking about the cover (showing a Mayan pyramid) which is not in the author's control, I'm talking abou...

review 1: An interesting read similar to Da Vinci Code but lighter, sort of like Clive Cussler. Our two intrepid heroes, Finn Ryan and Lord Billy Pilgrim, find evidence of a lost Aztec Codex and follow the clues to the Codex and the secrets it reveals. Meanwhile they are chased by a secret...
