Product Description
Product Description
Friday the 13th of October 1307 A fateful day for the powerful Order of the Temple. Arrested by the King of France, betrayed by the Holy Father, the Templars will cease to exist. And Ian Graham, twenty-first century television personality, has just found himself in 1307 -- and an initiate of the Order. He has ten weeks to escape death or torture -- if he can find his way home. *** "[Walter Hunt] strikes out in a new direction that should appeal to many readers, old and new... The tale feels very real, and the secrets that are in its center carry a convincing weight... Highly recommended." -Tom Easton, SFRevu Walter Hunt's imagination lets us all become time travelers, as we join Ian Graham on his journey through the 14th century. Hunt writes as if he was there. After reading A Song in Stone, you may feel like you were there yourself. -Daniel M. Kimmel, author of I'll Have What She's Having "...a soul searching journey through a little-known mystery pilgrimage. I was enchanted. I highly recommend." -Irene Radford, author of Merlin's Descendants

Know your reader,
This review is from: A Song in Stone (Paperback)
HI, I am enjoying the book "A Song in Stone" but find there is some repetition in the plot, unheard conversations between characters that our "hero" sees but doesn't hear and arrives just to late to pick up on. A lot of time "fiddling with the harness" on the horse cart is unneccessary as we get the gist.The book and story is a relatively slow paced affair, the characters have strong qualities but never really reach a cresendo. The main bug bear I have with the book however, is that author is not understanding his reader. I like the story, but too many references to the hero not wanting to be in the role, the time period or the lives of his companions brings me out of the 14th Century and back to the 21st Century, which I am trying to escape by reading a historical fiction book ! Would I recommed the book? Depends how it ending pans out but probably yes, but not as a buy, more a library loan. Will I read another of the authors books? maybe, not sure, but I like the fact that he is an author and we need them. Why I am writing here? I went to author's web site but there is no link to be able to contact him. Hope its useful Spidergoose

Incredibly imaginative,
By Kaye "avid reader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Song in Stone (Hardcover)
Ian Graham, an unemployed television interviewer, gets a job offer to do a documentary on the mystery of Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland. Ian takes the tour to get a feel for the location. As the guide is talking about the mysterious stone carvings during the tour, Ian starts to hear a humming noise that intensifies as he goes farther. The guide explains that the stones have a meaning but that it has been lost to history.Not only does Ian hear a humming noise as the guide speaks, he thinks he is hearing his agent and another man talking in the crypts area. He then begins to hear music that no one else seems to hear. As the music swells, he hears the words " truth conquers all" in his head. Fade to black as Ian falls into nothingness. When Ian awakens, he is but he isn't Ian. If this seems like an enigma, it is. He is Ian in body but not Ian of the 21st century. It seems he has been transported back to the year 1307 as an initiate of the Knights Templar making his way on a pilgrimage. The final destination is a location not to be built for another century or more. He has memory of his other self in the 21st century but also can function in the 14th , just as if he had lived there for years. Because Ian has the sole ability to hear the "healing music" he is a target for those who have it in for the Knights Templar. Ian knows that in approximately 6 weeks the King will give an order to rout out all the Knights Templar and arrest them. In order to save the music for the world, Ian must finish his pilgrimage and return to his own time. Will he be able to finish this dangerous but very important mission? Will it be in time ? What an absolutely incredible imagination Mr. Hunt has! I was pulled into this story from the outset and did not want to put it down until the very last page. Although Hunt writes with a simplistic clarity, the reader feels as if he or she is actually in the scene eagerly anticipating the next stage of the journey. The ways of the pilgrims and their faith in God are vividly portrayed. There is a tremendous amount of history woven into this amazing tale bringing the whole story to life. If you like symbolic mysteries with a little fantasy and history woven into the story, then this book is for you. After greatly enjoying books such as The Da Vinci Code, I was predisposed to like this book and it certainly did not disappoint. Indeed, a highly recommended read. 5***** 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

For fans of Dan Brown,
By sundowner2 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Song in Stone (Paperback)
I happened across this book at our library, and I plan to be buying myself a copy! It had the same fantastic feel that Dan Brown's books, or the movies National Treasure have, historical fiction filled with so much truth, it's just an imposible to put down read, and something I plan to suggest to all of my friends to read.

Best Masonic Fiction I Have Read,
By G. Porter - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Song in Stone (Paperback)
This is hands down the best Masonic fiction I have had the pleasure to read. The story is accurate historically in many ways, lots of truth and a dash of fiction to make it an excellent and fantastic web. Paul Di Fillipo wrote to me once that "Life is Fantasy" and I agree. When we allow ourselves to imagine we can often manifest the best parts of ourselves in life.I recommend this book to all Masons and profane alike. It is just one heck of a fun ride and it opens and enlightens the mind. |
