Dan Brown is one of my favorite authors, especially for those stories with historical symbols that lead the reader into a magical, but at the same time substantial epic, with many Easter eggs and enigmas. I don't know Steve Barry, but if he follows Dan's line, then his novels are a must read. I like this one you review for its mosnastic context. I'm a fan of the Knights Templar, or at least the history surrounding their epic. When I can I will take a look at this book.
