"It has served us well, this myth of Christ."
—Pope Leo X, 16th Century
In a hail of fire and flashing sword, as the burning city of Acre falls from the hands of the West in 1291, The Last Templar opens with a young Templar knight, his mentor, and a handful of others escaping to the sea carrying a mysterious chest entrusted to them by the Order’s dying Grand Master. The ship vanishes without a trace.
In present day Manhattan, four masked horsemen dressed as Templar Knights emerge from Central Park and ride up the Fifth Avenue steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art during the blacktie opening of a Treasures of the Vatican exhibit. Storming through the crowds, the horsemen brutally attack anyone standing between them and their prize. Attending the gala, archaeologist Tess Chaykin watches in silent terror as the leader of the horsemen hones in on one piece in particular, a strange geared device. He utters a few cryptic Latin words as he takes hold of it with reverence before leading the horsemen out and disappearing into the night.
In the aftermath, an FBI investigation is led by anti-terrorist specialist Sean Reilly. Soon, he and Tess are drawn into the dark, hidden history of the crusading Knights, plunging them into a deadly game of cat and mouse with ruthless killers as they race across three continents to recover the lost secret of the Templars.
网上下的,看完了,有点虎头蛇尾的感觉
评分因为达芬奇密码开始对templar感兴趣,知道这本书的时候是上海译文正在引进,没想到两年后被我在旧书店无意中买到了英语原版。和dan brown的风格有些像,但有时候我觉得写得更好
评分算算很久没读此类书了
评分开头、中间还行;结尾有点潦草
评分对圣殿骑士感兴趣的要看看。再结合刺客信条的小说,感受一下不同的角度。
