The book Templar Secrets by Andreas Economou is an unrelentingly intriguing fresh take on the Knights Templar, their rumored connection to the Arc of the Covenant, and how they may have morphed into the Free Masons.

The novel weaves itself over thousands of years of history from approximately 900BCE to 2014CE. The author smoothly connects events, individuals, and historical moments and provides a beautiful, thought provoking, and sometimes humorous picture of both Templar and Masonic traditions and stories.

This is definitely a read for anyone who loves a solid historical mystery/thriller with a penchant for stopping in the middle of a read to google and see if events in the book happened as described. I was pleasantly surprised at the depth of research that went into this work and the plausibility of the connections Economou made.

Upon beginning this novel I was a bit concerned when I noted how quickly and seemingly jarringly the author switched from one setting and set of characters to another yet I found that these transitions between chapters did not diminish the book, but enhanced the work. If you are, however, a reader that likes a story line with one main character throughout this may not be the book for you.

Without hesitation I give this book a 5 out of 5 for a bold story line, strong characters, and intriguing mystery elements. I found it well written with few if any typos and I truly think it should belong on bookstore shelves across the nation.
