Holliday is dressed with the finest cloths and is imported to a secret building followed by other members of Rex Deus in limos, Mercedes, Jaguars, Roles Royes, and Bently's.
Finally, Meg and Holliday arrive at the Rex Deus headquarters in Kentucky. After the threat, Meg forces Holliday to carry the ark to the helicopter that Meg had comanded to pick them up. The soceity is very rich and can be compared with the Freemasons. The Rex Deus society believes they are direct desendants of Jesus Christ. The whole search for the true ark was a setup and Sister Meg was not a nun, instead she was the daughter of Katherine Sinclair who was the leader of the Rex Deus society. When Sister Meg finds the ark, she threatens to kill Holliday. After arriving at the island, Sister Meg finds the true ark sealed underground next to the lake. At a bar serving chicken wings and beer in Canada, Holliday and Sister Meg meet a man named Gallant that exepts the money to deliver Holliday and the nun to the island. After arriving at Canada, they put all their clues together and figure out that the true ark is located at Semplar Island which is an island that is highly protected and illegal to trespass. Finally, after the escape from the British museum, they take a ride from a fisherman nearby, to Canada. As Holliday and Sister Meg continue to wander all over France, the Vatican Secret Service and the CIA are trying their best and put an end to this deadly treasure hunt. Obviously, the CIA are afraid that the FBI will become involved in this man-hunt and will become a global war between the Vatican and the United States. Soon as Holliday and Sister Meg find more and more clues leading to the Jacob's Staff, the Vatican Secret Service orders assassins to follow and kill both Holliday and Sister Meg the nun. The CIA want to bring both Holliday and Sister Meg back to the United States so they do not offend the Vatican. The Vatican Secret Service does not want them to find the true ark because if it is found, it could give proof that the Rex Deus group are the true descendants of Christ destroying the Roman Catholic Church. Sadly, the CIA and the Vatican Secret Service do not want Holliday and his nun friend on finding the true ark. In the end they both agree that they will travel together in order to find the Jacob's Staff then using it to navigate the whereabouts of the true ark. Holliday met the nun and learned her name was Sister Margaret Emily. After the visit to the Cathedral, Holliday went to Mont Saint-Michel which was a Disney like castle built a half a mile of f the coast of Normandy in France.
If the ark was found it would be priceless. The truth was that the nun was trying to find the true ark that contained the Holy Grail, the Crown of Thorns, the Holy Shroud, and the Ring of Christ. During the same week a nun with red hair had gone to the Cathedral and said she was a professor of religion at Harvard and wanted to know more about Jean de St. Holliday talked with the monk at the church named Brother Morvan and the monk said Holliday was the second person to the cathedral in order to learn more about Jean de St. 834 and was added onto for the past 600 years. This Cathedral was originally built in A.D. After the meal Holliday stops by at The Cathedral of Dol to learn more about Jean de St. Clair to find treasure and possibly discover America long before Christopher Columbus. In the beginning of the story, two wealthy men (Colonel John "Doc" Holliday and Maurice Bernheim) are enjoying a rich meal in France and talk about a mysterious nautical instrument called the Jacob's staff that was used by the Templar knight Jean de St. After reading The Lost Symbol and enjoying it very much, I bought The Templar Throne by Paul Christopher in the Mystery/Thriller section.
I think the next boo, "The Templar Conspiracy" is going to continue the story. there was also a twist at the end that I never saw coming. Some of the places had me running to the computer to see if they really existed & what they lokked like. This also gave the author a chance to give the reader some history about the locations. It was a fast-paced thriller that took the reader to many different & little-known locations.
