Bookreview: The Heretics' Revenge

The Heretics' Revenge

A final search for the Holy Grail

written by Martin Barrett


"A Nice story with exciting jumps in time"


Condemned as heretics by the Catholic Church, the 13th-century Cathars are persecuted, 
tortured, and finally burned alive at Montségur. But according to legend they hide their 
riches  and relic beyond the castle walls on the eve of their demise.

In the 1930s, Otto Rahn dedicates his life to recovering the long forgotten relic, 
and coerced by Himmler joins the SS to find the ‘Holy Grail’ for the Nazis. Exposed 
as both Jewish and homosexual, Rahn commits suicide. But not before he entrusts his 
notes to his niece. Notes that have never been found.

Seeking a challenge after retiring early, businessman Steve Jackson embarks on a 
modern-day search for the fabled Cathar cache. With French girlfriend, 
Manon Lubin, they locate Rahn’s abandoned clues in the Black Forest. 
The notes become a key to locating a religious discovery even greater than the 
Dead Sea Scrolls, and unleash a 750-year old time-capsule of revenge that threatens 
to shake the Church of Rome to its foundations.

The massacre of the Cathars and the true story of Otto Rahn are interweaved and then 
continued with the fictional search for the treasure and relic. Rich in historical detail, 
this fascinating and absorbing story, set in France and London, climaxes with a 
thought-provoking and controversial conclusion that brings The Heretics’ Revenge.





My review


History and especially royal history always had fascinated me a lot. That's why I 
decided to read the book "The Heretics' Revenge" written by Martin Barrett.

It is a very interesting story with a good mix of history and fiction, which I like.
I immediately was into the story due to the strong characters.

Some chapters made a jump forwards in time and this was mentioned well except
with the present time. So, It was a bit confused, but due to the new characters, I
realized soon, the story was in another time, the present.

I enjoyed reading the book "The Heretics' Revenge" because the way of living of
the characters was described very well.

Although the plot "looking for the Holy Grail" isn't that original, the way Martin
Barrett told the story - in a novel - transformed it into a real treasure. 

I certainly will recommend this book to others who are interested in historical
fiction. 
So, I give this book a 4 star on 5 rating.

My Review

Health is the most important gift that human people have. So, it is
always nice to read more how to improve or maintain a good health.
One of the key roles is kept for food and that's why I chose to read:
"A Practical Home Guide For Nutritional Healing".


"A Practical Home Guide For Nutritional Healing " is written very clear
in short, practical chapters. It also read easily. 

The book gives an idea how to take care of your health, though it was a
bit too short. I definitely want to read more!!!! I will recommend this
to friends, colleagues and others. So, I give this book a 4 star rating on
5.
