Desmond has been home for only a week. He still has nightmares about what he saw on his journey. He has left the world of humans in a way he feels ashamed of. When his friend Bartoc was killed, he ran for his life. He has been a member of the church for years but now there’s a witch hunt going on for the ones of his sort. He’s the sole survivor of his group. Things began to go wrong when the Knights Templar were created. And now, they want him to run and hide once again… And by all prize, he must protect the talisman! But only this time, he’s too old to run.
Professor Kathy Allison is taking her daughter and two teenage friends on a hiking weekend. She’s supposed to meet former alumni David Earl but the rest of the weekend should be sort of a vacation. David has found new artefacts that Kathy wants to check out. Already at the beginning of the trip, it’s obvious to Kathy’s daughter Sharon that they are been followed by a couple of men…
Before they realise it, Kathy and the 3 teenagers are on the run to save their life.
With Knights Of The First Order, Arthur Jackson has written a page-turner. This is a thriller with a capital T. There is so much suspense in it that I could hardly bear it. I’ve always liked a good thriller but this one… Reading this book is more than just reading, you get sucked in to the story and for a few moments it feels as if the bad ones are after you. As if you’re in the middle of the hunt. Running for your life trough the mountains, with assassins behind you, almost breathing in your neck.
Be sure not to miss out on this book! Reading it was a special experience for me. You won’t be able to put this book down before having read it until the last page!
