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 the book to be over so I could not read anything else in this series. It even brought back a character from the series' past (from the dead) to save the main characters at one point. Apparently this was the fourth book in the series, I won't be going back to read the initial books, nor reading any subsequent ones.
review 2: "The Templar Conspiracy" is an action thriller that reminded me of early James Bond movies: non-stop action but little character development. Peggy and Holliday were... more gutsy and engaging, but we didn't get to know them very well (which is fine for a thriller).The suspense was created by near-constant physical danger to the main characters (and others). However, since the main characters seemed confident of their ability to handle the danger, I never really worried for them and that cut down on the suspense.The author did an excellent job creating vivid descriptions of the many, varied settings, and the action scenes felt realistic. There were brief, graphic descriptions of gore during some of the fight scenes.This novel was the fourth in the series, but you don't need to have read the previous novels to understand this one. However, this one does spoil what happened in previous novels.There was some bad language. There was no sex. Overall, I'd recommend this novel to people who enjoy James Bond type stories.I received this book as a review copy from the publisher. less
