5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books I have ever read!
Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2017

When I picked this book up, I did not know anything about the author or the book. But it surpassed all my expectations and turned out to be a spellbinding book.
It combines characters like the Knights Templar, wannabe Nazi Third Reich group of Seven headed by the brilliant but corrupt,heinous theoretical physicist with the utmost evil intentions, two honorable scientists and an ex Delta Force soldier with incredible success. Added to this mix are a somewhat mentally challenged chauffeur idolizing Adolf Hitler and a psychopathic, bloodthirsty, cruel killer!
The fast paced, intriguing story line and the way the characters and events are coordinated makes for a fascinating reading. The suspense is maintained almost till the last page and the manner in which principles of physics have been incorporated make this a highly intellectual and brilliant book.
Thanks for a wonderful reading experience, Mr. Pavlov. I am off to read your next book.

Good thriller from C.M. Palov featuring a military commando, an academic, a former MI5 spy and a dying man determined to rewrite history by changing the outcome of WWII. I enjoyed this book but was confused as to the order in the series it really is. Although it says it is the third in the series, it reads more like a prequel to the events that happened in "Ark of Fire" the first book. Despite this slight hiccup, I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

As with all of her books, Palov presents a intricate plot, great Good Guys and great Bad Guys. With all the symbols, clues that permeate her books, I wonder if Dan Brown is looking over his shoulder? I've enjoyed all of the series that I've read so far. You wont be disappointed this book, or the others from this author.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good story - but this is a prequel?
Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2013

As another reviewer pointed out, the dialogue used by marine tough guy Finn McGuire (the main character) in this novel is cringeworthy. The author is obviously a very intelligent, well educated, well read woman and it's like she's SO clever she has no idea how to write "normal" speech - especially the kind the reader could easily imagine a marine using. He talks constantly in stereotypical "tough guy" phrases or "marine speak". I don't know any marines personally - but I bet when they aren't out on a mission they talk pretty much like anyone else. It's like a doctor might say "get me some adrenaline stat!" while he's saving someone in the ER but he's not going to say "get me some sugar for my coffee stat!" while he's at home talking to his wife.
Palov is usually writing speech for Caedmon - a style she seems much more suited to - he NEVER speaks like a normal human being (at least not one I've ever met). He quote Shakespeare and the like every time he opens his mouth.

Speaking of Caedmon - this is the biggest problem I have with this book. I don't understand where it fits in the timeline of the other books in this series. It's the latest one written/released but it does NOT take place after the previous one. Where the heck is EDIE? Caedmon hasn't even met her yet it seems! Where is his newly discovered daughter?
This book seems to be a PREQUEL to all the others but I can't find any indication that the author/publishers make us aware of this fact.
The story was well researched and interesting. The two new main characters were likeable (awkward dialogue aside) but I never got over the disappointment of Edie's absence the whole time I was reading it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great adventure
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2016

I enjoy reading about Templar history, whether non-fiction or blended into a novel. While The Templar's Quest didn't dwell heavily into that history, it did combine some of my favorite elements for this style of writing; history, religious beliefs, action and a travelouge. The history particularly dwelt on some of the lesser known elements of Nazis. CM Palov has a style very similar to another favorite author, JF Penn. There's some violence but very little in descriptive sex scenes which I find refreshing. I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more.

- [ ] Wow, what a great read! This series is remarkable in that it challenges some of the beliefs held by many. In a very good way, there are questions of faith explored and alternative scenarios presented to give a sense of balance to one’s quest for reason toward religion.

So far I've read all four 'Templar' books by Palov and they are easy to
read, suspenseful and full of historical facts. I like the history
as much as the plot. I get most of my books now from Amazon.

WOW! Just WOW! Nazis, the Holy Grail, and the fact that the events in The Templar's Quest take place before the first two books in the series make this a fantastic read. I love the backstory and delving into Caedmon's past. I think any lover of this series will enjoy this book. Hoping to see Finn again soon.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pity About The Dialogue!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 11, 2013
Verified Purchase
The Templars' Quest is a novel written with a broad sweep of academic and arcane knowledge added to a vibrant imagination. This a great story on many counts. How could it fail? Fascinatingly complex, it offers a powerful secret society, a long-lost artefact, a tough marine, and a vulnerable and grieving young mother pulled into a maelstrom against implacable foes.

So why only 4*s instead of 5*s? To tell the truth, I almost tossed it after the first few chapters. (I persevered, however, and I am glad that I did.) The initial pages focus largely on a tough, aggressive marine whose dialogue quite frankly reveals the author's ignorance of soldier-talk. He is much more comfortable with his prose which is admirably sprinkled with references from Shakespeare, quotations from old English ballads, Irish poetry, history, classical music, Egyptology, Germanic culture and language, and highly complex science. The writer is extremely erudite and this, coupled with his inventive imagination, render the book extremely satisfying on an intellectual level.
n
And herein lies the problem. It is Palov's very education that makes him incapable or reproducing, in any convincing way, the normal speech patters of the ordinary soldier. Too often what is clearly meant to be hard and macho comes across as nerdy and cringingly off-putting. I did warm to the marine eventually but not without having to curb the more than occasional flinch at his serious lack of 'cool' together with the occasional less-than-felicitous choice of verb. (Would a hard-bitten macho soldier "snigger" in the heat of an angry argument?)

Of course, it could well be that I am being pedantic here. Do not let my 'pickiness' put you off. This is a great story. The descriptions of Paris are wonderful and the highly ingenious plot hatched by 'The Seven' to revisit WWII is as good as anything Dan Brown might have come up with. Very enjoyable and highly recommended.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 7, 2012

The plot is about an American special services soldier who discovers a medallion in Syria. When back in the USA, his close friends are tortured and murdered and he gets framed for it. The chase then begins; Finn is deperately tring to find out who is after him and why, whilst at every turn they are trying to kill him. The pursuit becomes frantic, Finn and those he has now teamed up with, are tracked every step of the way. The tension builds to a climax worthy of Dan Brown. All in all, it's a great read and difficult to put down for long. I am fond of Scott Mariani novels and I thought this was a similar style and just as exciting.
