Booklist Magazine Review: "Brilliance."
Booklist Review, Sept 2007:In his follow-up to the excellent The Game (2007), Armstrong takes on a whole new set of challenges. The story (which is set in the mid-thirteenth century) is intriguing: a motley trio of heroes—a troubadour, a Templar, and a beautiful woman—must find the world’s most important religious relic before the evil Diableteur, a disfigured witch hunter who is working for the Pope, gets to it. At stake: the future of the Catholic Church. The characters are amusing. The novel is thoroughly readable and has more than a few moments of brilliance in which Armstrong blends comedy, parody, and adventure in genuinely innovative ways. A writer of abundant talent."
