Templar Throne (2012) - Plot & Excerpts

I really enjoyed this book. It was a fast-paced thriller that took the reader to many different & little-known locations. This also gave the author a chance to give the reader some history about the locations. Some of the places had me running to the computer to see if they really existed & what they lokked like. /there was also a twist at the end that I never saw coming. I think the next boo, "The Templar Conspiracy" is going to continue the story. After reading The Lost Symbol and enjoying it very much, I bought The Templar Throne by Paul Christopher in the Mystery/Thriller section. In the beginning of the story, two wealthy men (Colonel John "Doc" Holliday and Maurice Bernheim) are enjoying a rich meal in France and talk about a mysterious nautical instrument called the Jacob's staff that was used by the Templar knight Jean de St. Clair to find treasure and possibly discover America long before Christopher Columbus. After the meal Holliday stops by at The Cathedral of Dol to learn more about Jean de St. Clair because he was buried there. This Cathedral was originally built in A.D. 834 and was added onto for the past 600 years. Holliday talked with the monk at the church named Brother Morvan and the monk said Holliday was the second person to the cathedral in order to learn more about Jean de St. Clair. During the same week a nun with red hair had gone to the Cathedral and said she was a professor of religion at Harvard and wanted to know more about Jean de St. Clair. The truth was that the nun was trying to find the true ark that contained the Holy Grail, the Crown of Thorns, the Holy Shroud, and the Ring of Christ. If the ark was found it would be priceless. After the visit to the Cathedral, Holliday went to Mont Saint-Michel which was a Disney like castle built a half a mile of f the coast of Normandy in France. Holliday met the nun and learned her name was Sister Margaret Emily. In the end they both agree that they will travel together in order to find the Jacob's Staff then using it to navigate the whereabouts of the true ark. Sadly, the CIA and the Vatican Secret Service do not want Holliday and his nun friend on finding the true ark. The Vatican Secret Service does not want them to find the true ark because if it is found, it could give proof that the Rex Deus group are the true descendants of Christ destroying the Roman Catholic Church. The CIA want to bring both Holliday and Sister Meg back to the United States so they do not offend the Vatican. Soon as Holliday and Sister Meg find more and more clues leading to the Jacob's Staff, the Vatican Secret Service orders assassins to follow and kill both Holliday and Sister Meg the nun. Obviously, the CIA are afraid that the FBI will become involved in this man-hunt and will become a global war between the Vatican and the United States. As Holliday and Sister Meg continue to wander all over France, the Vatican Secret Service and the CIA are trying their best and put an end to this deadly treasure hunt. Finally, after the escape from the British museum, they take a ride from a fisherman nearby, to Canada. After arriving at Canada, they put all their clues together and figure out that the true ark is located at Semplar Island which is an island that is highly protected and illegal to trespass. At a bar serving chicken wings and beer in Canada, Holliday and Sister Meg meet a man named Gallant that exepts the money to deliver Holliday and the nun to the island. After arriving at the island, Sister Meg finds the true ark sealed underground next to the lake. When Sister Meg finds the ark, she threatens to kill Holliday. The whole search for the true ark was a setup and Sister Meg was not a nun, instead she was the daughter of Katherine Sinclair who was the leader of the Rex Deus society. The Rex Deus society believes they are direct desendants of Jesus Christ. The soceity is very rich and can be compared with the Freemasons. After the threat, Meg forces Holliday to carry the ark to the helicopter that Meg had comanded to pick them up. Finally, Meg and Holliday arrive at the Rex Deus headquarters in Kentucky. Holliday is dressed with the finest cloths and is imported to a secret building followed by other members of Rex Deus in limos, Mercedes, Jaguars, Roles Royes, and Bently's. At the meeting desk the true ark is opened and all the billionaire members of Rex Deus finally see te true artifacts of Jesus. Soon after the opening of the box, the CIA burst through the doors and free Holliday from the Rex Deus society. In the end, Katherine the president of Rex Deus plans to plot a plan to kill the current president because the Rex Deus does not allow a black man running America. The Rex Deus is supposedly a Puritan group that is rascist against blacks and very Republican. Lastly, Holliday is saved and he is free. I thought this book was pretty good and was full of suspense until the very end. There was some violent material but the book still was a good read. I would only recommend this book to teens and adults because this book is sometimes violent, rascist, and very religious (Catholic). Great book!:)) :D
