The fifth in Mr. Christopher's Templar series, RED TEMPLAR
is an action-packed, engrossing book. John "Doc" Holliday is
planning to return to the US after a close brush with death
in Africa. Instead, he is met by a Russian who tells him of
another Templar sword, companion to the one that John owns.
John and his friend, Eddie, will follow Genrikhovich, from
Turkey to Bulgaria, to the heart of Moscow in their efforts
to find a mysterious treasure. They will have to evade
assassins as they learn ever more about the power wielded by
the Knights Templar and the fortune that they control.
I'm a big fan of Paul Christopher's writing. His plots are
so intricately woven that the reader is swept away. The
tension level in his books is high and there is constant
danger for the characters. This is not just a rehash of the
Knights Templar legend. Mr. Christopher has constructed a
conspiracy that reaches to the highest levels of governments
and the financial power brokers. I highly recommend RED
TEMPLAR and the series as a whole.
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. Holliday
quickly finds himself on a flight to Turkey, where he begins
following a trail that will lead him to the dark heart of
Russia-where the ancient Templar Order has secretly wielded
power for centuries...
