Synopsis

At last, the book more than a million fans are waiting for: the sequel to The Last Templar.

With its iconic title and unmistakable cover, Raymond Khoury's million-copy- selling The Last Templar remains one of the most memorable thriller publications of the last decade. Finally, after four long years, Khoury returns to the world of the Templars with The Templar Salvation, a sequel that's every bit as eye-popping and as gripping as its predecessor. Constantinople, 1203: As the rapacious armies of the Fourth Crusade lay siege to the city, a secretive band of Templars infiltrate the imperial library. Their target: a cache of documents that must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the Doge of Venice. They escape with three heavy chests, filled with explosive secrets that these men will not live long enough to learn. Vatican City, present day: FBI agent Sean Reilly infiltrates the Pope's massive Vatican Secret Archives of the Inquisition. No one but the Pope's trusted secondi get in-but Reilly has earned the Vatican's trust, a trust he has no choice but to violate. His love, Tess Chaykin, has been kidnapped; the key to her freedom lays in this underground tomb, in the form of a document known as the Fondo Templari, a secret history of the infamous Templars... With his trademark blend of incendiary history and edge-of-your-seat suspense, Raymond Khoury's The Templar Salvation marks a triumphant return to the rich territory that launched his bestselling career.

The Templar Salvation is the second book I've read by Raymond Khoury, and it's the second in his Templar series about FBI agent Sean Reilly and archaeologist Tess Chaykin.

Goodreads review by Cynnamon on February 05, 2020

A generic Vatikan thriller with expected content. Full of action and suspenseful moves, but totally predictable and in my eyes rather uninteresting. ---------------------------------------------- Ein Vatikanthriller wie aus der Schablone, actionreich und spannend, aber auch oberflächlich und voller Kli......more

Goodreads review by Bekah on January 07, 2012

Question: Has Raymond Khoury ever been introduced to an editor? Answer: Apparently not, as evidenced by his latest novel, "The Templar Salvation." Overall, the book was a fun read, if you're looking for something to fit into your "beach/plane ride fodder" category. But it could have EASILY been choppe......more

Goodreads review by Richard on December 03, 2010

That author Raymond Khoury is an excellent storyteller is no surprise. He has demonstrated his skills in this regard amply over the course of the three novels he released prior to his latest one, "The Templar Salvation." What surprises about "The Templar Salvation" is that it's even better than the......more

Goodreads review by Larry on December 16, 2010

Decent, for a standard Templars-have-a-secret-that-will-destroy-Christianity thriller. I usually enjoy these, because I have a different interest in the Knights Templar, but the "secrets" for each tale, from Knight & Lomas's "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" through Mr. Dan Brown's best-selling, but woefully......more
