Summary
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Exciting . . . hard to put down without reading one more page.”—The Florida Times-Union
The ancient order of the Knights Templar possessed untold wealth and absolute power over kings and popes . . . until the Inquisition, when they were wiped from the face of the earth, their hidden riches lost. But now two forces vying for the treasure have learned that it is not at all what they thought it was—and its true nature could change the modern world.
Cotton Malone, one-time top operative for the U.S. Justice Department, is enjoying his quiet new life as an antiquarian book dealer in Copenhagen when an unexpected call to action reawakens his hair-trigger instincts—and plunges him back into the cloak-and-dagger world he thought he’d left behind.
It begins with a violent robbery attempt on Cotton’s former supervisor, Stephanie Nelle, who’s far from home on a mission that has nothing to do with national security. Armed with vital clues to a series of centuries-old puzzles scattered across Europe, she means to crack a mystery that has tantalized scholars and fortune-hunters through the ages by finding the legendary cache of wealth and forbidden knowledge thought to have been lost forever when the order of the Knights Templar was exterminated in the fourteenth century.
But she’s not alone. Competing for the historic prize—and desperate for the crucial information Stephanie possesses—is Raymond de Roquefort, a shadowy zealot with an army of assassins at his command.
Welcome or not, Cotton seeks to even the odds in the perilous race. But the more he learns about the ancient conspiracy surrounding the Knights Templar, the more he realizes that even more than lives are at stake. At the end of a lethal game of conquest, rife with intrigue, treachery, and craven lust for power, lies a shattering discovery that could rock the civilized world—and, in the wrong hands, bring it to its knees.

Broken Sword vibes
A nice easy way to learn a bit about the Templars. I got this because I had just remembered how much I liked the first Broken Sword game and the write up sounded about as close as I would get to that :)

Interesting story but not easy to listen
The story as it is was interesting but the narrator was not very very good. Breaks should have been longer when jumping from one person to another and it made the experience bit hasty.

An excellent story well told
A very well researched and executed novel, bringing new life to the Templar legacy. The story is written in such a way as to make all quite plausible, without any of the Hollywood nonsense.
I particularly enjoyed the way the life of Christ and the resurrection are portrayed. The writers note at the end was a good addition, as it specified the facts, the inspiration, and the artistic license.

Decent series opener. Dull narration.
Not a bad series opener. Malone is a fairly ordinary hero but that works well enough. The pace was good and the plot seemed well conceived but the narration was woefully dull. Because the narration was so monotone I found at times that my attention would wander. I gather Scott Brick takes over for the next in the series. Hopefully he will do narration. a better job.

Superior tosh
How to review a book like this! At its simplest it’s a schlocky book about Templar treasures with crackpot theories and mysteries which turn out to be total bollox. However, it’s done with a knowing but not arch attitude and the author’s made up theory is no more daft than most. If you’re going to read a book about Templar treasures, you’d do worse than make it this one.

A good listen.
Some people have complained about the narrator. Once you are tuned in to his voice, it's finè and he does a good job.
