review 1: Discovered Khoury during my Templar phase...and now, here's Rasputin, the man who had to be poisoned, shot, beaten, and then drowned to actually die.But he's just the set-up, the hook. That's ok, because I have always liked Sean Reilly, but it's apparent I've missed a couple of h...

review 1: This novel is way better than the first one in series. But I just can't get the taste of Khoury story telling. I mean, books of that genre make me read them in a lightning speed and they make me glued to their pages. Khoury's on the other hand does not. Maybe my own problem. The ...

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: As part of a series I do have to say that I did prefer the historical aspects of the first 2 books, although as a thriller this is still a good book in its own right. The main characters are still there in Sean Reilly and Tess Chaykin.The book starts off with historical flashback...

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: 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: 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 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: 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 all right. I didn't know this was a part of a series, so some of the back story was missing for me. I had read The Last Templar the first Ryan book, so I had an idea of who Sean Ryan was, but I didn't know what had happened in the interim. It was a decent mixing ...

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 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 ...
