My friend was talking about history, and how our perceptions of historical characters are forced on us by the views of those who write the history books. I started to think about King John and how reviled he is, and the idea came to me that he could be presented in a completely different light. The whole of King's Ransom grew out of that.(less)

Why Katherine Kurtz' Knights Templar series doesn't work for me

Now I am not vain enough to assume that my criticisms of Ms Kurtz' work will apply to others, but here for what it is worth is my view of why I did not enjoy the first two books in the series (The Temple and the Stone and The Temple and the Crown) and why I will not read any further books in the series (if indeed more have been or are to be written; of this I am unaware).
