The sequel to Raymond Khoury's The Last Templar, The Templar Salvation once again finds FBI agent Sean Reilly and archaeologist Tess Chaykin involved in international plot involving terrorism and religious history. After an Iranian terrorist involves Reilly in a plot to infiltrate the Vatican archives, Reilly must hunt him down before the terrorist tracks down centuries old secrets that could dramatically change history and the Western world. The secrets in question deal with ancient church history and have been protected by the Knights Templar. The quest takes Reilly and Chaykin on a hunt through history in what is modern-day Turkey.
This book is a fairly well-written thriller involving questions of history and faith. The characters are believable and the action is captivating. I particularly enjoyed the book because of its settings. The first location is the Vatican, a place a would very much like to visit. The second locale the provides the setting for the story is Turkey, one of my favorite places to visit. Much of the action takes place in Istanbul, what is likely my favorite city in the world, as well as Cappadocia, which is a beautiful, interesting part of rural Turkey.
