Cabal of The Westford Knight: Templars at the Newport Tower (Templars in America Series) Paperback – January 27, 2009

This book was absolutely just that- astonishing! Though this is a book of fiction, the way the evidence all comes together, backed by real photographs or real places and real archeological findings is amazing! Incredible care was taken in the research and the whole of the premise is logical and will resonate with some readers. My own faith is in the duality of Divinity and this book highlighted why so many believe in the Duality and why we believe that the Mother, or Lady, or any of another number of names used for the feminine side are equated to Mother Earth and the cycles of life. The wedding, or joining, of Heaven, or the Celestial, with Earth is at the heart of these beliefs.I will not belabor the point, but will say this book takes all the evidence and produces what many will see as a logical theorem, just as " The DiVinci Code " did, but taking a different route and using real photographs, maps and evidence to enforce the theorem. Personally, I feel it far outstrips "The DiVinci Code" and leaves one with a feeling, as it did, that you want to learn more about the places and items mentioned. This book will slowly reel you in (but not too slowly! Action from almost the very beginning!), and hold you spellbound and in the moment with the characters until the very end.I highly recommend this book for anyone who enjoyed "The DiVinci Code", or "The Last Templar" or any other interest in the Jesus Bloodline, the Templars, or the Freemasons. Or anyone else! You will not regret the read whether you agree with the evidence, plot progression and conclusions or not.Now, I am off to study more of the reference materials used and recommended!On the critical side, there were a few typos, etc, which another through proofreading would correct, but even those were very few and in no way detracted from the story.

This is a really long story. But it is well worth the read! Canal of The Westford Knight: Templars at the Newport Tower is a fantastic tale. Mr. Brody created a strong cast of characters and a believable storyline. I look forward to reading more in this series!

I really enjoyed this book, it was easy to read and become involved in. The story contains everything you need-bad guys, romance, danger, secrets and answers. The more of Mr. Brody’s books I read, the more I like them. Here you will also learn how Cam and Amanda met and then became a couple.

Loved this book! Page Turner with much hidden truth revealed. Thank you for the depth of the essene truthseaning

I like the research more than the writing style. I haven't enjoyed a complicated historical reveal so much since reading "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" many years ago. The premise of the story goes against all Christian teachings. I as a believer, am not put off by this at all. In his day, a man of Jesus' age and class would have acquired a wife by the time of his ministry. Nothing is mentioned about this in the New Testament, nor is the lack of a bride. No mention. It does not, in my opinion as an amateur theologian, interfere with his message or his Godhood. The prodigious research appeals to me. I especially liked the holes in rocks all over New England, deliberately made holes in many places. Who made them? Not the Indians. If not the Indians, then who? It may be the last Templar. The storyline is not so far out that we must suspend disbelief, it is just far out enough to be fun to ponder. The characters, while too too goody, appeal to me. Both the male and female leads have physical flaws or problems to deal with, a nice touch. I like the killer who is most concerned, not with the morality of murder repeated as a career, but rather with the well-being of his young daughter. I like reading the book well enough. We do not know everything we would like to know about history. Fanciful thinking might help people like me fill in some of the blanks. So, who did make the holes? and why?

This book is an entire voyage, not just an adventure. Brody sprinkles enough facts into this work of fiction to make it plausible, but I'm not sure I can buy the idea of a married Jesus. The Divine Feminine doesn't need a man anyway.

I expected the book to be interesting considering its subject but definitely did not expect it to be so mind boggling and the kind that one can't put down without finishing to the very last page and going through all the quoted references!!!The topic is one that one has come across before but this book takes off from where the others left it and leaves the others far behind! It covers religion, off religion, mystery, adventure, astronomy, exploration, some law and myriad other exciting topics.The story is taut, fast paced with a wonderful narrative style and all the characters including Salazar are very lovable. I felt extremely at home with the concept of the Sacred Feminine having been raised from birth with Supreme, powerful Goddess Shakti along with all the elements of nature and felt proud and joyous that I share a lot of important traditions with the Template, however fictional the account is :-)Thanks for superb adventure Mr. Brody. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

This very thought provoking. While most of the Templar theories have been covered before, this story is the first an best to go into the Templars reaching America before most Europeans and staying here to live in peace, away from jealous rulers, churchmen, and commoners alike. Cannot wait to read second book in series! A great summer read with a blossoming love story within.

What a ride! The theory and research imbedded in this tale are astonishing! There are many variations of the Templar legacy, many interpretations of the masonic heritage and even hints of pre Columbus Européen contact with the New World, but none so tightly weaved as the journey David S. Brody invites us to share. Packed with facts and historically plausible narrative, a must read for Christians and non believers alike.

It all started when Cam overhears a bullied conversation a man trying to persuade an elderly couple to sell him their home. A fascinating story that has Amanda and Cam running and hiding for their lives. It's a story with lots of information and history a must read highly recommended

The author does a tremendous job with documents to back his research into the discovery and settlement of North America prior to the official version. He also includes other controversial religious theories. All this is wrapped up in an adventure story in which the main characters are hunted by conservative religious personnel to prevent the exposure of the facts. Very informative and controversial.

The first one of its series, this book is an eye opener, even if it is fiction based around facts scattered around us it gives us a message to keep our eyes and mind open, not everything is what it seems and history can have alternative narratives , should you have stomach to digest it. A whole hearty entertaining read and quite an informative one

A good read that every Christian should read, though I doubt it will open eyes welded tight by the Vatican.
