Knight Templar (The Saint Series)

Rating:
Summary: It has a tone of seriousness in its subject.
Review: I liked the book for being different from the normal Saint stories. The plot is wide and it makes you think. The Saint plays a more thoughtful role in this story as he can't make a false move. He knows that he is the only one who knows anything about a coming war and he is the only one who can stop it. Actually, that's what I liked about this book. The Saint didn't do anything remotely rash in this book.

Summary: Knight Templar (alias The Avenging Saint)
Review: If you already have The Avenging Saint, don't get this book. The publisher just changed the book's name and cover.

You may want to read "The Last Hero" before reading this book in order to really understand the background of this story.

The story starts with Simon Templar returning to England to revenge the death of a friend. Revenge isn't easy if every member of Scotland Yard is trying to arrest you for murder and other crimes. Simon soon learns he is the only person who can stop a major European war. Can Simon bash the villians, stop their war, and avoid arrest? Not quite; he only manages to achieve two of these objectives.

Summary: A Strangely Charming Novel
Review: This is a strange novel. I can point out a lot of defects of this novel; the style is old-fashioned and too figurative; the story is also old-fashioned; the plot is easy and crude. Nevertheless, I LIKE THIS NOVEL. It has some inexplainable charm that fascinates me. It may be partly because of a charm of the hero, Simon Templar, alias the Saint.

I didn't know this "Knight Templar (alias The Avenging Saint)" was a continuation to "The Last Hero". I will read the previous story, too.
