The book this week is The Templar Legacy by Steve Berry. It is the first book in his Cotton Malone series. I read one later on in the series and liked it so I thought I would go back and start from the beginning.
The sentence:
History had not been kind to the Order. Though they captured the imagination of poets and chroniclers - the Knights of the Grail in Parzival were Templars, as were the demonic antiheroes in Ivanhoe - as the Crusades acquired the label of European aggression and imperialism, the Templars became an integral part of their brutal fanaticism.
Although it may not look like it here, this is a fiction book. It just happens to have a lot of history in it too.
