Publisher Comments:

At last, the book more than a million fans are waiting for: the sequel to The Last Templar.

With its iconic title and unmistakable cover, Raymond Khoury's million-copy- selling The Last Templar remains one of the most memorable thriller publications of the last decade. Finally, after four long years, Khoury returns to the world of the Templars with The Templar Salvation, a sequel that's every bit as eye-popping and as gripping as its predecessor. Constantinople, 1203: As the rapacious armies of the Fourth Crusade lay siege to the city, a secretive band of Templars infiltrate the imperial library. Their target: a cache of documents that must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the Doge of Venice. They escape with three heavy chests, filled with explosive secrets that these men will not live long enough to learn. Vatican City, present day: FBI agent Sean Reilly infiltrates the Pope's massive Vatican Secret Archives of the Inquisition. No one but the Pope's trusted secondi get in-but Reilly has earned the Vatican's trust, a trust he has no choice but to violate. His love, Tess Chaykin, has been kidnapped; the key to her freedom lays in this underground tomb, in the form of a document known as the Fondo Templari, a secret history of the infamous Templars... With his trademark blend of incendiary history and edge-of-your-seat suspense, Raymond Khoury's The Templar Salvation marks a triumphant return to the rich territory that launched his bestselling career.

Review:

"Khoury's entertaining sequel to The Last Templar (2006) offers characters and plot lines that hew closely to the conventions of the religious thriller subgenre. In 1310, Templar knight Conrad of Tripoli stumbled on a trove of writings documenting the early days and divisions of Christianity. The Catholic Church has kept this material hidden since the fall of Constantinople in 1453, fearful that its release would undermine the church's authority and rock the foundations of Christian belief. In the present, Mansoor Zahed, an Iranian motivated by revenge for the CIA killing of his family in the 1950s, is bent on finding the trove and releasing it to undermine Western religion and stability. Meanwhile, FBI special agent Sean Reilly visits the Vatican on a quest to find a document that may help in his effort to rescue his love interest, Tess Chaykin, who's been kidnapped. The constant suspense, ever-mounting body count, and interesting historical lore will keep readers turning the pages. (Oct.)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright PWyxz LLC)

I'm listening to the audio book. It's intriguing and has my imagination trying to keep up with the descriptions. The emotions are there and I feel like I'm there, like a bug on the wall watching it all unfold. It's a great audio book!

If you are looking for a fast-paced, history infused adventure, "The Templar Salvation", will fulfill. Well-written plot development and interesting characters with a thorough historical background ranks this book with the best of it's genre. I read the first book, "The Last Templar", a couple of years ago and was hoping there would be a sequel. So, Mr. Khoury...I'm waiting patiently for the next one. I'm hoping you have one in the works.

Would the pre-Nicean Council writings from early Christianity disrupt and undermine current religious beliefs? In an age of the Gnostic Gospels being relegated to a small section of any bookstore, it's hard to believe early writings would be much of a threat - but this is the belief that motivates Mansoor Zahed, an Iranian bent on destroying the West through religion. In order to accomplish this goal, Zahed kidnaps Tess Chaykin to achieve cooperation from FBI agent Sean Reilly - and forces him to raid the Vatican Archives. But Zahed under-estimates Reilly and Chaykin, who team up together and with the Vatican once again, in an effort to stop Zahed and once again preserve the history of the Templars.
