If you enjoy shows like National Treasure or books like the DaVinci Code you'll probably enjoy this book. While the writing is a bit stale at times, it was an enjoyable afternoon read.

It was ok, I thought I would be more interested in the book from the description but once I started I ended up putting off finishing it for quite awhile. Just not my cup of tea. ( )

The Oath of Nimrod: Giants, MK-Ultra and the Smithsonian Coverup (Book #4 in Templars in America Series) by David Brody


The CIA is is trying to brainwash (historian) Cameron Thorne and his girlfriend Amanda Spenser-Gunn. They discover evidence of a Race of North American Giants, Hebrew inscriptions in a Cherokee burial ground and an oath made by Freemasons. The answers seem to be in the legend of the Knights Templar, with the secretive Freemasons at the root of all the mystery. Not only this but also hidden inside the Smithsonian may be exactly what they are looking for. But will they be stopped for good, before they find what they are looking for?

A well written fascinating story with a believable plot. Cameron and Amanda are very likable. The pictures in the book were and added bonus. The Freemasons have been rumored to be many things, a satanic cult among one of them. The air of mystery around this ancient and current group of elite people , the Freemasons, and the urban legends of "giants" in the archaeological world make for a gripping, intense, fascinating and thought provoking story. I highly recommend The Oath of Nimrod: Giants, MK-Ultra and the Smithsonian Cover up (Book #4 in Templars in America Series) to readers of all genres. ( )

You may not believe in conspiracy theories or giants, but this book will make you believe that in some universe, the events within these pages are happening. I don't mean it pushes the idea on you, I mean that the plot is much more believable than other books of its kind. Personally I am not someone who goes around looking for giants, and I tend to feel that books like this push the idea on me a little too much. That wasn't the case with this book most of the time. I could read and believe that this was a fictional story just as easily as a believer could be certain it was all true. That is a hard balance to make in books like these that can't often draw in the skeptics without making them feel forced to believe.

I picked up this book with a little bit of uncertainty, but I was quickly caught up in the plot, almost to the point of wishing I had read the other books in the series. Being the fourth book, I also worried I would have trouble following what was happening, but there was no issue there either. I understood the characters just as well as if I had been following them for their entire written lives.

If you are into conspiracy theory stories, this book is probably perfect for you, as it seems to be well researched, but you don't need to believe in order to enjoy the story. Subject matter aside, the plot itself kept me turning pages until the end. It was a true conspiracy adventure that you didn't have to believe in to get caught up in. There is magic in that and I completely enjoyed it. ( )

A well researched and well plotted book that engages the readers. This book has it all: conspiracy, brainwashing, ancient giants. It will keep the readers attention. The author did a remarkable job with his research and creating a most believable plot. ( )
