Book Reviews of Knights of the Black and White (A Templar Novel)
Book Review: The First in a Trilogy
Summary: 5 Stars
Jack Whyte was born and raised in Scotland, but has lived in Canada for the last forty odd years. He is the author of several novels and this book is the first in a trilogy about probably the most famous Order of knights, ever to come through the pages of history, the Knights Templar.
Although the books are a work of fiction they are based solely on the truth as we know it about the Order. Why they were formed after the First Crusade and why they continued to grow, both in power and influence from their small beginnings as escorts for pilgrims traveling through the Holy Land. These knights began from lowly beginnings becoming one of the most powerful and richest bodies in Europe, until finally the French King ordered them to disband. Burning their leader at the stake and sending many of those who managed to avoid punishment, into exile
This first book in the trilogy starts at the beginning of their history and the author blends the historical truth with his own powers of story telling until they are entwined as one single entity. He weaves a magical tale of hardship, chivalry, jealousy and much more. It is all their with the backdrop of the 12th century Holy Land. It is a story well worth reading and I am now eagerly awaiting the second book Standard of Honour which is due out early in 2008.
