Reviews for The Templar Inheritance

[alan1946 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Full of surprises. Having read the first book of the series in which John Hart became something of a hero across the world, the first surprise was that he was back in the war torn Middle East working again as a photo-journalist, and again in great danger. The second surprise was that the majority of the book was taken up with the story of the first Johannes Von Hartelius, Knight Templar of the 12th century. The interplay of the two stories is very interesting, although John Hart is still easily led astray by his forbear's writings. Some of the writing is a little reminiscent of the historical stories from Wilbur Smith ( not a bad comparison!) I think one of the most appealing facets of the story is the level of honour shown by a number of characters - yes, there are a number of less pleasant characters, but they are overshadowed by the good that is displayed by others.I think this second in the series is the better so far, and am looking forward to the third instalment.
