Kindle Nation Daily Bargain Book Alert: Terrence O’Brien’s THE TEMPLAR CONCORDAT is Our eBook of the Day at just $2.99, or FREE for Amazon Prime Members Via the Kindle Lending Library, with 4.6 Stars on 19 Reviews, and Here’s a Free Sample!
Here’s the set-up for Terrence O’Brien’s The Templar Concordat, just $2.99 on Kindle or FREE for Amazon Prime Members Via the Kindle Lending Library:
When the truth is your greatest danger, and the enemy knows the truth, things can only go downhill when the enemy finally gets the proof. And that’s the proof the Hashashin get when they steal what the Vatican doesn’t even know it has.
Now the infallible decrees of two Twelfth Century popes and three kings, stolen by the Hashashin, threaten to catapult the bigotry, bias, and religious blood baths of the Third Crusade straight into the Twenty-First Century.
When Templars Sean Callahan and Marie Curtis are drawn into the mess, they face an ancient enemy that has already nearly won the battle, a newly elected Mexican pope being undermined by entrenched Vatican powers, world class scholars who will sell their prestige to the highest bidder, and terrorists lingering over lattes in sidewalk cafes.
Moving from Rome to London, Switzerland, and Saudi Arabia, Callahan and Curtis are desperate to find some way to stem the success the Hashashin are having enlisting the majority of moderate Muslims in their Jihad. Out-maneuvered at each step by the Hashashin, only a last ditch roll of the dice has any chance of success. But it’s the only chance they have.
122,000 words – appx 400 pages
From the reviewers:
“I loved this book and am still kicking myself for resisting its sirencall for so long. The history and details woven skillfully into the action and well rounded characters made for an exciting read…” -Sandra Gilbert
If you enjoyed the DaVinci Code, this has a lot of the same elements – but it’s a bit more believable, so it’s easier to suspend disbelief and just go along with the story. As other reviewers have pointed out, an ancient treaty is discovered that could have huge ramifications for the modern world, the Catholic church, and Christianity in general. – Heather
I could not put this book down. Even if you are not into any kind of Templar history, it is a fast paced read with plenty of background information that will make you feel like you know all about the subject of The Templars. — “kdl”
From the Author:
The idea for the book began to grow a few years ago as news reports revealed more and more about Al Qaeda. What struck me was thefact that it had no national allegiance. It operated outside the established nation state system. Al Qaeda didn’t care what the government of Saudi Arabia, Syria, Pakistan, or Iran thought. It did whatever it wanted, and claimed to be doing it to further world-wide Islam.
So, I wondered what things would be like if there was an organization in the West that was also free from the governments of the West. How would they combat Al Qaeda? What kind of scene would play out across the world if that kind of group challenged Al Qaeda without worrying about media, Congressional hearings, appeals courts, public opinion, or the next election cycle?
Then I remembered there once was such a Western organization when the Knights Templars were active from 1120 to 1307. They answered to nobody, had the strongest military of the day, crossed borders at will, amassed a huge fortune, engaged in trade and commerce, and financed many of the monarchies.
So, why not bring the Templars forward in time, and let some escape the ambush by the King of France and the pope that destroyed them in 1307? And since the Templars were a creation of the Crusades and the Church, let those players come into the present day, too. And the Hashashin, a secretive branch of Islaimi Shiite Islam that excelled in covert operations? Let them escape their destruction by the Mongols in 1275, and come forward to the present day.
I also noticed news stories about the discovery of the Chinon Parchment from 1308 dealing with the Templar trials. The document had been misfiled in 1628 and was lost to history until an Italian researcher found it buried in the stacks of the Vatican Library in 2001. So the notion that things could get lost for hundreds of years in a library was definitely reasonable.
The result is The Templar Concordat. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

A Monthly Feature for the Greatest Readers in the World: Specially Chosen “Red Adept Select” Titles on Kindle – This Month’s Featured Title is Kindle Nation Fave Imogen Rose’s INITIATION
(Editor’s Note: We’ve had several opportunities to work with Lynn O’Dell of the popular Red Adept Reviews site over the past few years, so we’re very confident that she will be right at home here among the greatest readers in the world — you, the readers of Kindle Nation Daily. We’re very excited to introduce her to tell you a bit about the still very new Red Adept Select program and how we are working together to help our readers find great reading at great prices on Kindle. –S.W.)
Here’s Lynn:
I have been a book lover all my life. A little over two years ago, I began a book review blog, “Red Adept Reviews.” I focused on independently published (Indie) books because I loved having the opportunity to discover new talent. During my first year of reviewing Indie bo
oks, I was forced to give too many low ratings due to the poor editing of the books I reviewed. My frustration with that led me to start Red Adept Editing Service.
I am joined by a group of talented people who help me maintain excellent quality while I expand the services offered to writers. Every book edited by Red Adept Editing receives comprehensive editing and at least one complete proofread. We are proud to have edited over seventy Indie books, with many more to come.
Occasionally, we come across books that we simply can’t put down.
We recognize these books by branding them as “Red Adept Selects.”
Red Adept Select books are chosen by our professional team of editors and proofreaders for being “outstanding in their genre.” To avoid any conflict of interest, Red Adept reviewers do not review books edited by the team, though they do contribute in the choosing of our Select books.
And now, This Month’s Feature Title:
INITIATION (Bonfire Academy Book One) (Bonfire Chronicles)
by Imogen Rose
- A Red Adept Select book (voted “Outstanding in Genre”-YA)
- “It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.” – Herman Melville. That one phrase changed my life, AND my perception of what people expected. So I wrote it down, in a little black book, and put it in my purse. Now, I can’t tell you exactly how many times I have read that 1 phrase since I wrote it down, but every time I read a book, and then bask in the brilliance of it’s originality I think of Herman and his wise advice. THEN…I think of the authors that exude this quality more than most. Imogen Rose is one of these authors.- KindleObsessed
- Did the author make a deal with the devil or something to get this level of pure talent or what? Or maybe one of these demons from this book? Hmmm… – Candy Beauchamp (Candy’s Raves)
Imogen Rose is the author of the bestselling YA series, the Portal Chronicles. She was born in a small town in Sweden and moved to London in her twenties. After obtaining a PhD in immunology from Imperial College, she moved with her family to New Jersey, where she’
s been based for the past ten years.
For as long as she can remember, Imogen has dreamt stories. Stories that continued from night to night, from dream to dream. So, even as a child, going to bed was never an issue, just an anticipation of the story to come.
PORTAL, Imogen’s first novel, would have remained in her imagination, to be shared only with her daughter, Lauren, had her eight-year-old not insisted that she write it down. In the course of a month, Imogen typed while Lauren waited eagerly by the printer for the pages to appear, and a novel took shape.
The warm reception PORTAL received encouraged her to continue with the story and the Portal Chronicles. Faustine is Imogen’s first book in her new series, the Bonfire Chronicles. She has recently published INITIATION, the prequel to FAUSTINE.
Imogen is a self-confessed Hermès addict who enjoys shopping, traveling, watching movies and playing with her dog, Tallulah.

Kindle Nation Daily Readers Alert: Check Out Rosemary Mild’s Compelling Memoir of The Loss of a Daughter in The Pan Am Flight Terrorist Bombing – Miriam’s World And Mine – Now on Kindle
Mother of Bombing Victim Chronicles Her Journey from Grief to Grace Despite Justice Undone and Political Betrayal.
“I plan to sing and dance my way through life, become internationally famous and live happily ever after,” Miriam Wolfe wrote in her high school yearbook. But her dreams ended brutally in December 1988. Returning home from a Syracuse University semester in London, she died in the terrorist bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland.
Join her mother, Rosemary Mild, on her jagged journey from the grief of losing her only child to renewed courage inspired by Miriam’s legacy of love, humor, idealism—at age eleven she wrote to President Jimmy Carter, advising him on how to save the environment. Miriam’s World—and Mine leads us through two decades up to the present, revealing the saintly people of Lockerbie; the stalwart Pan Am families who spearheaded a law for improved airline security; the investigation by the CIA, FBI and Scotland Yard. And the harrowing trial of the two bombers. Most anguishing of all is the convicted Libyan bomber’s release, truly a betrayal of the 270 Flight 103 victims. Even today, how can a mother let go of anger (and should she?), when governments value politics over the lives of our innocent loved ones?
But wrapped around these nightmares, you’ll find comfort and joy—optimism undefeated—in the array of families’ memorials: scholarships, sculptures, a baseball field, and the Syracuse University Remembrance Quilt.
Finally, curl up with Miriam’s wisdom and wit in her entertaining stories, poems, diaries and essays.
he is also the author of the newly published Miram’s World–and Mine. Together with husband Larry they have authored three Paco and Molly murder mysteries: Lox and Cream Cheese, Hot Grudge Sunday, and Boston Scream Pie.
