The Templar Salvation - Raymond Khoury

Driving back and forth across the state is eased by listening to audio books.
The long drive is further eased by listening to an exciting story.
This was an exciting story.

Khoury follows the thriller writer's rule of "put your hero/heroine in a tree and throw rocks at them" and then goes a step further: he cuts down the tree.
Khoury uses the what-if principle and expands upon it. He must have mused one day: "What if the lost chapters of the Bible, the ones eliminated at the Council of Nicea, were found?  What if the Knights Templar had hidden  these books for years? And what if someone today was ready to kill for them?"
I have to admit I'm a sucker for the archeological thriller and this was a good one.
The Templar Salvation  is actually the second book in Khoury's Templar saga - the first one, The Last Templar, is waiting for my next trip across the state.

But even before my next adventure with the Knights, I have to finish listening to Preston & Child's Gideon's Sword. Yes, I'm back with Preston and Child....two of my very favorite writers.
