This adventure novel is set primarily in Africa and deals less with Templars, or even a legion, than the name implies. Retired Army Ranger Lt. Col. John "Doc" Holliday, a sometimes professor at West Point, is pulled into an adventure full of intrigue and historical reference in Africa when his cousin Peggy's husband makes an archaelogical find in Ethiopa. Traveling along the Nile river, the trio follow the historic path of a Templar scholar, a viking explorer, and the lost Roman legion, all searching for the legendary King Solomon's mines.
Simultaneously, Kukuanaland (an African country) is on the verge of another military coup, into which the trio is ultimately involved. The overall story deals very little with the Templar connection and more with the various plans and double-crossing involving the two intertwined stories. However, this does not make the book any less of an enjoyable read. The story was entertaining and went by relatively quickly.
