I was enjoying this pretty well up until the last "act" (to use screenplay terminology), where it started to ... Finishing up The Last Templar, which has had its moments, though the last stretch has been a little dull. Have about 100 pages left of Foucault's Pendulum, which I've been enjoying.

OK, I have to give Raymond Khoury props. Not only was my objection premature (there turns out to be too few samples for even the most powerful code-breaking software) but he manages to come up with an unexpected and plausible solution to the ... Update on The Last Templar:
OK, this may be a bit of a spoiler so be warned. The goal of the daring robbery turns out to be the theft of a two-rotor encoding machine the Templars used to encrypt all of their communications. (The anachronism is acknowledged here.) I have to admit, I probably ... I'm in New York with Tess Chaykin, trying to solve the mistery of The Last Templar. Book Started: The Last Templar

I finished TEMPLE by Matthew Reilly in short order as it is a fast-paced, action book. I loved it. I'm currently reading THE LAST TEMPLAR by Raymond Khoury, which is another great book. I'm also reading THE BLIND ASSASSIN by Margaret Atwood, and I find this one progressing much slower. 23. The Last Templar by Michael Jecks.

Tried to watch the DVR of The Last Templar...what a bunch of mishmashed dreck! OMG why would Mira Sorvino agree to such a disaster? Did they use a cattle prod on her? One of the worst TV movies ever made. Avoid at all costs. I'm with profilerSR on that - enthusiasm followed by disappointment. I will pass on The Last Templar. 3. The Last Templar by Raymond Khoury
