Book Reviews of Holy Blood, Holy Grail

Book Review: Truth at last
Summary: 5 Stars

This book delves deep into the heart of christian history, not to mention a massive investigation of the templars, and their shady masters, the priory of sion.

The authors begin with a much covered mystery surrounding a church in southern france, and soon move deeper into the mystery than others; they analyse possible scenarios for the bizare circumstances involved in centuries of events.

Much of the work, pertains to an organisation known as "le priere de sion". The authors effectivly prove the existance of an organisation, which has been working underground for many hundereds of years, apparently bent on what seems an unfathomable goal ... the restoration of a french royal bloodline to the thrown ... a bloodline presumed extinct a milenium ago. The priorys influence however, spreads farther than this, what is said is franky frightening.

Despite a perhaps over zealously extensive history of the "alleged" grand masters of the priory, the book moves to shake the very foundations of the church, and constructs a plausible argument for an incredible sequence of events. To share these in a review would be criminal, suffice to say however, you will never look at a man on a cross the same way again. There are now new meanings for the terms "grail", "crucifixtion" and "jesus".
