The Sword of the Templars

by Paul Christopher Narrated by Paul Boehmer

Overview

After a lifetime on the front lines, Army Ranger John Holliday has resigned himself to ending his career teaching at West Point. But when his uncle passes away, Holliday discovers a mysterious medieval sword-wrapped in Adolf Hitler's personal battle standard. Then someone burns down his uncle's house in an attempt to retrieve the sword, and Holliday realizes that he's being drawn into a war that has been fought for centuries.



Accompanied by his adventurous niece Peggy, Holliday must delve into the past and piece together the puzzle that was his uncle's life and his involvement with the enigmatic warriors known as the Knights Templar. But his search for answers soon becomes a race against ruthless, cunning opponents willing to die for their cause...and to kill Holliday for daring to uncover their past.

Editorial Reviews

OCTOBER 2010 - AudioFile

When Army Ranger Lt. Col. John “Doc" Holliday and his niece, Peggy, become the recipients of a family estate, they discover a medieval sword that is thought to be part of the mysterious group known as the Knights Templar. Discovering a hidden message within the sword, Doc and Peggy set out to solve its riddle in an adventure filled with danger around every corner. Narrator Paul Boehmer delivers a somewhat flat performance that fails to convey excitement when the story calls for it—though he differentiates characters well and consistently. But the story itself is somewhat predictable and, when coupled with Boehmer's flat narration, makes for a mediocre listening experience. J.R.G. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
