Absolutely absorbing story!

This was an incredible story, absorbing, intricate, and chock full of mystery and intrigue both old and new. The sheer breadth of this story is incredible and the narrator is on point, perfectly expressing the emotions, characters and accents. Thank you for a spectacular read!

Really enjoyed the story but hated the F bomb

I would have rated this book higher, hoping I could recommend it. Fbomb ruined it.

The story is good – But the performance…

I really enjoyed the story, I very much I’ve been to the whole grail kind of conversation. But the performer and his inability to speak in a female voice was cringy at best. I just couldn’t take it.

a fantastic story

I absolutely loved this book. It combined historical drama with a touch of science fiction. The tale was expertly woven and I hated for the book to finally reach it's conclusion.

"Wow!" Literally my first word at the end

"Wow!" Literally my first word at the end of the audiobook. What an amazingly fresh take on some very tired old "standards". Templars. Ninjas. Special forces. And the Holy Grail. Marvelous job! Well done, Author. The ending was perfect. I could not have imagined it better. Out of a few mostly predictable possible endings, you manage to surprise us with a slick little finesse at the last moment. The imagined outcome of the end was certainly one of those possibilities. But the way you set that up... All I could say was, "Wow!". And the way you handled the questions and philosophies of creation and existence. Lip service to one point of view; A hint of the other. "There is a God." Is there a God?" "There absolutley is not a God!" "...or is there?" You leave it open without preaching or pushing a point of view.

Sequel? Prequel? The possibilities! One could only hope. Or, leave it at near "perfection". "Know when to put the pen down" and all. I say, It's been five years. Take a chance.
