14. Finished "The Last Templar" by Raymond Khoury; Started "Kingdom of Bones" by James Rollins
Sun Apr 24, 2022, 04:29 PM

It was the best book by Khoury that I've read. He included many historical details (may or may not be true) about the Knights Templar, the early Gospels, Council of Nicaea, etc... just enough to make for thought provoking arguments. It was a good action, page-turner.

I'm the first at my library to get the newest James Rollins, Sigma series book. 75 pages in and it's excellent... a strange, unknown virus in the Congo, large nasty ants, killer baboons, and more.
