Bound to be a successful Mini Series

The book was beautifully written (in fact, I'm re-reading it for the 4th time at the moment), and although easily filed away into the same category as Dan Brown's Angels & Demons and DaVinci Code, The Last Templar, in my opinion, was comparably better by leaps and bounds than either of Brown's books: in characters, flow, plot, suspense, and I found it more mentally stimulating. It was like reading a movie instead of watching one, which I love (not to mention I've always been a historical fanatic, especially when it comes to the Crusades).

Khoury has a very cinematic quality to his writing, which I think is reflective of his career in screen writing. He's brilliant. He knows how to capture action in words so you can actually see it in your mind while reading it; so it's no wonder that his book would transition so easily into a visual medium. I can't wait to see it, and since Khoury wrote the scripts for the mini-series, I'm absolutely certain that the show will do justice to the book. Not to mention having Mira Sorvino, Scott Foley (*swoon*), and Victor Garber (he's so brilliant) in it! I mean, I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for it to air on NBC's Fall lineup!
