About this listen

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.

Bestselling author Martina André was born in 1961 in Bonn, Germany. She has published many successful works and is best known for her Templar novels. Martina André now lives with her family near Koblenz and Edinburgh in Scotland, which has become her second home.

Narrator's voice fluctuations a tad problematic...

... 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...

interesting twist to the legends

well developed characters
dealt with a challenging “device” and
implications very well (don’t want to spoil it)
entertaining as well as hints of the deeper messages

Narrator drove me nuts

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 .

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

....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.
