Excellent!!!

I loved this Trilogy. Whyte is fantastic! Rich character development and well researched. He is among the best writers for this genre.

Putting Together All the Pieces

Mr. Whyte is an excellent writer and an historical pleasure to read. It's a little slow in its reading because it is so descriptive. What I particularly loved was the way he took so many of the legends and alleged ties in Templar history and wove a truly believable tale of the Order. He brought in the Order of Sion, how the Templars may have sailed to America (explaining the medieval structures and carvings in America), the whereabouts of the lost treasure and why it could be at Rosslyn, what they may have found under the temple mount in Jerusalem and how it impacted history, and how they appeared at the Scottish battle of Stirling Bridge. These ties were cohesive and possible. William Sinclair was a "hunk and a hero", a strong leading character. The leading lady was a little "ballsy" for her time, but she was Scottish (frequently depicted to be assertive, clever, and leading) and no pushover. Sir William was an honorable and trustworthy man that we only seem to see in times gone by; industrious, focused, loyal to friends and cause. It can be read as a stand alone novel; it is some years past the time of the second book. I highly recommend this book for those who enjoy great historical writing and am pleased to add it to my library.

Great book.

Really enjoyed this book. Jack Whyte is a master artist with words. His research is spot on and leads to the interesting question of just where the Holy Grail really is.

Order in Chaos

This is the third book in the Trilogy. Jack Whyte is a wonderful author he has a grasp of historical fact and makes his characters come alive. I enjoyed each of the books in thie trilogy. He builds the story from book to book and yet each book could stand alone.
