A review by speesh
Valley of the Templars by Paul Christopher
3.0
A complicated and rather unnecessary tale involving missiles, nuclear missiles I think and the blowing up half of Florida. Shadowy figures, people behind the scenes and modern-day Templar people, who aren't really Templars. But have names that are Templar-ish. And half of it is in bloody Spanish. Well, there are many exchanges between Holliday and Eddie, who is Cuban. That's a bit wearisome. All the while, we're getting further and further away from the 'world of the Templars' as stated on the front. As a story, as a book, it's ok, I suppose, not much more than that. Every problem is solved pretty much instantaneously, because one of them, or someone they meet under way, happens to be an expert in that particular field. And Holliday's encyclopaedic knowledge and total recall of just about everything he's ever seen or learned, comes in handy as well. The whole thing is easy on the eye, it's not the best in the series, the early books were better, there were more ancient secrets being discovered and ancient facts being told - so he may well just be running out of steam now.
