29. The Oath of Nimrod

The Oath of Nimrod: Giants, MK-Ultra and the Smithsonian Coverup (Book #4 in Templars in America Series)

A mysterious race of North American giants.

An ancient Hebrew inscription in a Cherokee burial mound.

A blood oath made by blindfolded Freemasons.

Are these three historical oddities the reason the CIA is trying to brainwash historian Cameron Thorne and his fiancée Amanda Spencer-Gunn? The answer lies buried in the legends of the Knights Templar, within the rituals of the secretive Freemasons and, most significantly of all, inside the bowels of the Smithsonian Institution. The problem for Cam and Amanda? If they go rummaging around the Smithsonian, they may find themselves buried alongside the ancient giants.

Based on actual historical artifacts, and illustrated. I found myself totally immersed in the history and the legends addressed in each book.

Publishers Weekly says of the author, "BRODY DOES A TERRIFIC JOB OF WRAPPING HIS RESEARCH IN A FAST-PACED THRILL RIDE."

This is a stand-alone novel with recurring characters. These books can be read in any order. I recommend reading them in order if you can, so you can enjoy watching the characters evolve.

The first installment is "The Cabal of the Westford Knight"
I have read several of the books in this series, and have throughly enjoyed them. The author has created some engaging and likable characters. I have three more that I have not read so you will be seeing more of Mr Brody's work.
