"The Last Templar" starts with a bang; it ends stronger than a whimper, but certainly weaker than the beginning. In fact, towards the end, the book begins to show signs of a serious lack of a reality check. Although it does drag in spots and is a bit "preachy" at times, the story is good and Khoury keeps a few plot twists up his sleeve to make this a good read. While the book is strong in terms of its plot and somewhat weak on characterization, it is, nonetheless, an engaging, fast-paced read. which I found it difficult to put this book down. Those who loved Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code" should enjoy this book, as well. One should, however, as with "The Da Vinci Code", read this action-packed thriller with the understanding that it is simply fiction. ( ) En plena exposición de los tesoros del Vaticano en el Metropolitan Museum de Nueva York, un grupo de hombres a caballo, vestidos como caballeros templarios, irrumpe a sangre y fuego y se apodera de varias reliquias. Entre los asustados testigos está Tess Chaykin, una joven arqueóloga que enseguida sospecha de los verdaderos motivos del asalto. Uno de los objetos que se han llevado los asaltantes contiene la clave para sacar a la luz un secreto que permanece oculto desde que el último templario dejó Tierra Santa, llevando consigo un cargamento de incalculable poder. El mismo secreto que llenó de terror a la Iglesia y que precipitó la destrucción brutal de la Orden del Temple en 1312. Un misterio que cambiará completamente nuestro mundo si sale a la luz. Con la ayuda del curtido agente del FBI Sean Reilly, Tess se embarca en una carrera contra el tiempo para recuperar la reliquia antes de que sea demasiado tarde. Quatro homens mascarados montados a cavalo, vestidos como Cavaleiros Templários, irrompem na noite de gala de inauguração de uma exposição do Vaticano no Museu Metropolitan e roubam um misterioso decodificador medieval, lançando o agente do FBI , Reilly, e a arqueóloga , Tess Chaykin, numa corrida mortal por três continentes em busca do local final de descanso do Templo do Falcão e a perturbadora verdade sobre sua carga.
Vous avez aimé le 'Da Vinci Code' ? Vous allez adorer 'Le Dernier Templier'. Vous avez détesté le 'Da Vinci Code' ? Vous allez adorer 'Le Dernier Templier' ! Sans blague : ce roman d'aventures reprend effectivement certains ingrédients du best-seller de Dan Brown mais il les accommode à une sauce autrement plus intelligente, autrement plus relevée aussi. Il y a dans ce roman tous les ingrédients d'une grande réussite littéraire (...) Mêlant histoire et fiction, complots moyenâgeux et enquêtes du FBI, [il] est tout simplement palpitant.

The first thrilling novel in Raymond Khoury's New York Times bestselling Templar series. In 1291, a young Templar knight flees the fallen holy land in a hail of fire and flashing sword, setting out to sea with a mysterious chest entrusted to him by the Order's dying grand master. The ship vanishes without a trace. In present day Manhattan, four masked horsemen dressed as Templar Knights stage a bloody raid on the Metropolitan Museum of Art during an exhibit of Vatican treasures. Emerging with a strange geared device, they disappear into the night. The investigation that follows draws archaeologist Tess Chaykin and FBI agent Sean Reilly into the dark, hidden history of the crusading knights--and into a deadly game of cat and mouse with ruthless killers--as they race across three continents to recover the lost secret of the Templars.
