In 1156, the sixth Grand Master of the Knights Templar brings a mysterious object from Jerusalem to his homeland in the South of France. "The Head of Wisdom", as the strange artifact is called, ensures that the Order achieves unprecedented wealth. But in October 1307, the French king fights against the Templars. All commanderies of the Templars are closed, all members arrested. Templar Commander Lieutenant Gero of Breydenbach is to flee to Germany with the "Head of Wisdom" to keep their secret. A truly fantastic journey begins. Suddenly he finds himself in 2004 - dependent on a fascinating young woman, who might help him to fulfill his mission...

Perfectly researched. Historically accurate. Based on a real legend. An outstanding adventure.

The story was fantastic a great read. All the characters were very real. I would rate the whole book great and I didn’t want it to end

Mesmerizing!

... His volume/tenor fluctuations, depending on the character, are not only irritating but at times border on the ridiculous... Shrill for intelligent people, baratone for the not so...

Narrator's voice fluctuations a tad problematic...

Although a great story the narrator was over the top. I do 95% listening while driving and I was forever having to look over and adjust the volume every time there was a whisper and then back to normal or worse from whisper to loud exclamation. Not only discomforting but potentially dangerous.

As far as my description of "over the top" not only the whispering aspect but also the voices he chose for the characters. Any man of intelligence was given a high pitched whinny voice. Men of authority a resonating deep commanding voice. Being former military NCO I can assure you our leaders including myself did not exemplify that manner of voice. LOL

I am afraid I will pass on any audible book I come across where Mr. Devereaux is involved .

Narrator drove me nuts

....no matter what I did, I couldn't stop listening. Sometimes the writing was heavy-handed, repetitive phrases, an outlandish and confusing storyline, (I know I dropped a few threads) but I plowed along for 25 hours and ended up enjoying it immensely. Perhaps it's because I majored in Medieval English Literature, am a History Teacher, and a Sci-Fi devotee that even when bumpy I needed to know what happened to the characters in the end. That is the sign of a good book, is it not? May not be to everyone's taste it was mine.

Liked it, Hated it, Loved It but....

Such a great book and story. I wish the rest were published in English so I can continue the adventure.

I wish there were more!

Tales of the Templars are clouded with mystery and legends. History tells us of their brutal downfall by the King of France. As the Templars were being slaughtered there has always been tales of treasures and Holy grail some of them managed to hide somewhere. In this beautifully written story by Martina Andre she manages to involve those legends with something completely new and exciting. Time travel tale has never been so entertaining, believable, fun, romantic and the suspense is almost constant. Is it correct historically? I dont know exactly...but it is close enough as places and people sounds real and familiar. If it was a possibility I would have given the narrator, Sam Devereaux 6 stars for his lively performans, so enjoyable listening to him.

Great mystery, excitement, legends and Devereaux!
