Liked it, Hated it, Loved It but....

....no matter what I did, I couldn't stop listening. Sometimes the writing was heavy-handed, repetitive phrases, an outlandish and confusing storyline, (I know I dropped a few threads) but I plowed along for 25 hours and ended up enjoying it immensely. Perhaps it's because I majored in Medieval English Literature, am a History Teacher, and a Sci-Fi devotee that even when bumpy I needed to know what happened to the characters in the end. That is the sign of a good book, is it not? May not be to everyone's taste it was mine.

Great mystery, excitement, legends and Devereaux!

Tales of the Templars are clouded with mystery and legends. History tells us of their brutal downfall by the King of France. As the Templars were being slaughtered there has always been tales of treasures and Holy grail some of them managed to hide somewhere. In this beautifully written story by Martina Andre she manages to involve those legends with something completely new and exciting. Time travel tale has never been so entertaining, believable, fun, romantic and the suspense is almost constant. Is it correct historically? I dont know exactly...but it is close enough as places and people sounds real and familiar. If it was a possibility I would have given the narrator, Sam Devereaux 6 stars for his lively performans, so enjoyable listening to him.

Narrator drove me nuts

Although a great story the narrator was over the top. I do 95% listening while driving and I was forever having to look over and adjust the volume every time there was a whisper and then back to normal or worse from whisper to loud exclamation. Not only discomforting but potentially dangerous.

As far as my description of "over the top" not only the whispering aspect but also the voices he chose for the characters. Any man of intelligence was given a high pitched whinny voice. Men of authority a resonating deep commanding voice. Being former military NCO I can assure you our leaders including myself did not exemplify that manner of voice. LOL

I am afraid I will pass on any audible book I come across where Mr. Devereaux is involved .

outstanding story

very good read. highly recommended for anyone interested m the history of the templars or their story.

Mesmerizing!

The story was fantastic a great read. All the characters were very real. I would rate the whole book great and I didn’t want it to end

Outstanding

Bravo for unique time-traveling novel. None of the bland cliche fictional time traveler nonsense. Narration was outstanding. My copy however had several duplicated chapters in the audible download. It makes you wonder, could that have actually happened?
