I actually loved the first book in the series The Last Templar with its shifts between the ancient and current stories Plus the TV miniseries was nice even though there were uite a few changes in the conversion The second book was interesting too but much action oriented than is common to the ancient treasure genre And then this book continues the same trend and belongs a lot to the pure action genre than the previous books I strongly believe I would have enjoyed this as a standalone book but as a continuation of the character s previous adventures it feels like this story doesn t belong and my rating would probably be higher in that case view spoilerThe prologue did promise a nice treasure hunt in New World and I was expecting it until almost the end I almost expected this to be part 1 of 2 part book with this book being a modern thriller and part 2 would go in the details of the search for the ancient secret Maybe this is what he is planning though there is a very tenuous secret left over from this book and a bigger cliffhanger was pretty firmly resolved after all who else will second guess the author s intentions but us critics In short it felt like this the entire story would still stand just in modern setting minus the connection to the historyPutting Tess in the background and making Reilly as the main character again a process probably started in the second book was a bit disconcerting at first but this may be understandable because the story revolves around his history and his area of expertise hide spoiler Then the Americans Came Voices from Vietnam rating would probably be higher in that case view spoilerThe prologue did promise a nice treasure hunt in New World and I was expecting it until almost the end I almost expected this to be part 1 of 2 part book with this book being a modern thriller and part 2 would go in the details of the search for the ancient secret Maybe this is what he is planning though there is a very tenuous secret left over from this book and a bigger cliffhanger was pretty firmly Hell in a Handbasket Devilish Debutantes #2 resolved after all who else will second guess the author s intentions but us critics In short it felt like this the entire story would still stand just in modern setting minus the connection to the historyPutting Tess in the background and making Reilly as the main character again a process probably started in the second book was a bit disconcerting at first but this may be understandable because the story Say Your Abc With Me revolves around his history and his area of expertise hide spoiler

review The Devil's Elixir Ó eBook or Kindle ePUB Med tiden med kidnappere med en brutal mexicansk narkobarron og endda med deres eget lands myndigheder for at spore hemmeligheden bag et stof med en så unik og kraftig effekt at det vil kunne ryste hele den vestlige civilisations fundamen. I first came across Raymond Khoury when I became incredibly interested in Templar history and since his debut historical thriller The Last Templar took historical fact and turned into a piece of action packed fiction well I couldn t really resist could I That and its seuel were extremely entertaining and when I heard that a third book in the series was to be released featuring indefatigable FBI agent Sean Reilly and Archaeologist Tess Chaykin once I instantly pre ordered itThe third book in the series is perhaps the most adventurous in terms of personal connection for the main protagonists When Reilly receives a phone call from an ex girlfriend telling him she s in danger the FBI agent finds himself mixed up with Mexican drug cartel and hardcore biker gangs Reilly world is instantly changed when Michelle his ex reveals a secret to him and he suddenly realises there s at stake than ever before And why is a narcotic killer known as El Brujo after ancient drug that could change the way in which drugs affect the world and what has it got to do with the ramblings of a Jesuit priest called EusebioIt sounds incredibly dramatic doesn t it At first I have to admit that I was a little apprehensive about this one Simply because Khoury strays from the Templar background altogether so The Devil s Elixir is pretty much a thriller He also takes the brave step in writing it in the first person from Reilly perspective which again differs from the previous instalments But in all honesty it is one hell of a thriller It is so full of action you simply get so absorbed by the thrill rides you could almost forget your train What is so addictive about Khoury s stories is that they are always dramatic in the good sense you could easily see the scenes play out in your own mind as if you were watching a brilliant high octane TV drama A resemblance to his TV writing days perhapsThe change in perspective is actually a bold move that paid off as it makes the whole book much personal you really do get into the head of Reilly especially as you follow the action along with him You feel for him cheer for him even shout at him forgetting where you are urging him to get a move on This is not just your average macho testosterone fueled FBI agent this is a man that discovers a secret that has been kept from him for years and you can t help but admire how he steps up in such a mature way to deal with the situation One of my ualms with The Templar Salvation previous book was how Tess Chaykin was portrayed as perhaps a dim secondary character and I was pleasantly surprised how much she progressed as an adult as well as a character in this She s smart and practical and you sympathise with her for itI loved the twists and turns this Book seemed to have as they felt much smooth flowing and natural I especially loved El Brujo the sadistic antagonist in here as sometimes you just love a bad baddie don t you He s insane twisted and believes the stuff he shouts about which gives way to some pretty gruesome scenes so if you are a little sueamish be preparedI was a little disappointed to not find any long lost mystery here simply because you get so accustomed to these revelations but instead imagine my surprise when I got to the last third of the book only to discover a slightly paranormal angle Paranormal elements in thrillers are pretty unheard of so it was exceptionally refreshing to read it and put in such an authentic way too Khoury doesn t mock or embellish either so it reads perfectly I loved this aspect of the book and in fact the last third was so addictive I devoured it in two sittings which is unusual for me Sometimes you have to love the types of books where the hero and baddie meet for the first time and the ending fight beginOn reflection I did find a few points though that troubled me slightly This is very much an adult book and such a specialised book too in terms of genre but the amount of acronyms in here was a little mind boggling at times SDPD EMS DEA NCIC UCB and that is just the start Sometimes they are perhaps a little unnecessary although for a reader used to reading this sort of terminology may disagree with me Khoury does explain the terms upon first use but when you get two hundred pages or so in and you see one that was told towards the early stages of the book you can be excused for forgetting that particular term can t youI also was a tad disappointed about the lack of location in this book In his previous books you get accustom to travelling to deserts cliffs abandoned monasteries hidden in rock faces old libraries of the Vatican well you get the picture and when reading the blurb you can picture deep South American rain forests jungles but sadly these hardly feature It is a very urban book with city scapes safe houses biker garages etc It s not necessarily a huge downside but I thought this gave to a slightly false blurb and when the paperback was released with a different title Second Time Around with a different blurb and tag line I understood whyThere is no denying it however The Devil s Elixir is one exciting thrilling absorbing and you know what fun to boot thriller It has characters we ve become familiar with and turned things even authentic This isn t about chasing after religious and clandestine secrets any this is a very real very modern story It s all about characterisation and Khoury proves to pretty darn good at it It has a few shocks along the way as well as an original paranormal element too which doesn t cheapen the story but rather strengthen it If you are a fan of the Reilly and Tess Templar series then I assure you despite the deviation you ll enjoy this even so I did This can even be read as a standalone novel too so if you are just a fan of thrillers action orientated novels then this will easily suit you Breaking Ground ryste hele den vestlige civilisations fundamen.
