Reviews“A cinematic book – images come alive before your eyes, a compelling, romantic, magical journey. An exceptional book written with a lot of research and passion”
Efthimia Athanasiadou – Maraki, Author

“A brilliant, unique and distinguished narration, a hymn to Knights Templar”
Ioannis Rodopoulos, Grand Master

“In his first novel, a surprise for Greek publishing, the multi talented author Giannis Nikolaidis writes about a global historical issue, the Knights of the Temple, also known as Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ […] I really wish and hope this book finds its place in the universal mythology!”
Louis Soroniatis, Economist, Social Scientist
***
“Giannis Nikolaidi’s novel is a clever intertwining of ancient Greek classic values, paganistic eastern elements, European knight romanticism and the humanistic spirit of Christianity”
Katerina Petronikolou, Literature Teacher

“I have to admit the novel The Templar’s Sword, by Giannis Nikolaidis has been a very pleasant surprise! I really thought I would read a “masculine” novel, full of violence and battles… However, the lyrical descriptions and the poetic writing fascinate me and transported me back to the 12th century with the lonely romantic hero… A book for demanding readers […]
I wholeheartedly recommend it to young adults or grown-ups who refuse to age. I’d really love to see a sequel with John the Brave’s new adventures”
Chrysi Vitsilaki, Director at the Department of Preschool Education and Educational Design at University of the Aegean

“A novel full of historical elements which show that the author did not stop at imagination and talent. He has researched, read and is very cultured”
Martha Papadopoulou, Literature Teacher, Actor.

“It’s been years since I read such a wonderful book! I really had the feeling that I was transported in a fairy tale for grown-ups, although in this book, imagination went hand in hand with the historical situation of the 12th century, just before the darkness of Medieval Ages gave their place to the light of Renaissance”
Amalia Babaliki, Medical Labs Technician

“A wonderful journey to an era when time, people and profit have (once more) distorted history…”
Giannis Papaioannou, Composer – Singer
***
“It will fascinate you with its prose, the historical atmosphere of the period, the intensity of all the feelings”.
Konstantina Xeni, Literature Teacher
***
“The novel is so tightly wound to the real historical persons and events of the 12th century that the reader may sit back and enjoy this wonderful journey”
Michael Savakis, Orthopedic surgeon
***
“Written with exceptional penmanship which transports you to other eras and worlds you will not be able to forget…”
Dimitrios Skarmoutsos, VIP protection

“A book where history meets religion, philosophy and imagination… It is like a diary of a Knight, as images, battles and historical details come alive before our eyes. A wonderful novel!”
Michael Skiathitis, Athlete
