This was an interesting book but I cannot say its good. The ending is weak.

Basically, Ian Graham, a newscaster who recently lost his job, takes on a position of doing investigative journalism and his first report is from Rosyln Chapel, a historic chapel.

A rather enjoyable read. Imagine going to work one day and during the course of normal events find yourself thrust 500 years in the past?

If you enjoy mystic journey's and delving into histories unknown traditions you'll enjoy this one.

Oh no another Templar's book. This book was slow to start, but the story line kept getting better. Complex story of a 21st century man sent back to 1307 and specifically right before the King of France had Templars killed October 13, 1307.

Overall I liked the book, but honestly it was a slow read for me. I could never quite get swept away in the story line, though I wanted to finish it. The book to me was along the lines of The DaVinci code -- though different enough that it was interesting, and didn't feel as if I had already read it.

Interesting in that a modern day man gets transported back to the time of the Templars. Good for people who are interested in learning more about Rossyln chapel, a fascinating place.

I was privileged to blurb this book from and advanced reader copy. Meticulously researched and lyrically written about a subject dear to my heart. Heartily recommended

Walter's best published work. Ask him about mesmerists.
