About the Author

Raymond Khoury Is The Sunday Times Bestselling Author Of Six Thrillers, Starting With His Debut Novel, THE LAST TEMPLAR. Raymond Came To Writing Thrillers From A Career In Screenwriting, Which Includes The BAFTA Award Winning BBC Series SPOOKS (Aka MI:5 In The US) And Waking The Dead. It Partly Explains Why His Novels Are Often Described As Cinematic And Very Visual. As Fellow Bestselling Author Steve Berry Puts It: "His Expertly Chosen Verbs Cause The Scenes To Leap From The Page. You Can Literally Feel The Blows As They're Landed; Wince As The Bullets Find Their Marks. He Has An Intense Brand Of Storytelling All His Own." Raymond's Thrillers Are Based On Big Themes That Interest Him Such As International Politics And Conspiracies, Fact Vs Faith, Why We Age And Die, What Do We Really Know About Reincarnation, About Mind Control. He Explores These Themes In Depth, With Heavy Emphasis On Research, And Often Combines A Historical Angle To His Stories. As Such, Some Of His Novels (THE LAST TEMPLAR, THE SANCTUARY, THE TEMPLAR SALVATION, RASPUTIN'S SHADOW) Feature Dual Timelines: The Bulk Of The Stories Are Set In The Present Day, Interspersed With Chapters That Take Place In The Distant Past. As Booklist Puts It,
