Product DescriptionFrom the USA Today bestselling author of The Aztec Heresy
A mystery that spans the past
A conspiracy that lives on in the heart of an ancient order…
Army Ranger Lt. Col. John Holliday had resigned himself to ending his career teaching at West Point. When his uncle passes away, Holliday discovers a medieval sword-wrapped in Adolf Hitler's personal battle standard. But when someone burns down his uncle's house in an attempt to retrieve the sword, Holliday realizes that he's being drawn into a war that has been fought for centuries-a war in which he may be the next casualty.
FromWhen Army Ranger Lt. Col. John “Doc” Holliday and his niece, Peggy, become the recipients of a family estate, they discover a medieval sword that is thought to be part of the mysterious group known as the Knights Templar. Discovering a hidden message within the sword, Doc and Peggy set out to solve its riddle in an adventure filled with danger around every corner. Narrator Paul Boehmer delivers a somewhat flat performance that fails to convey excitement when the story calls for it--though he differentiates characters well and consistently. But the story itself is somewhat predictable and, when coupled with Boehmer's flat narration, makes for a mediocre listening experience. J.R.G. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
