BURWOOD, Australia, July 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A young man finds himself entangled into an unexpected, mysterious adventure when he attempts to understand more about a mysterious organization that has turned his world to chaos. His complicated journey is told in Christopher JB’s new fiction, “The Order of the Sword: The Knights Templar” (published by Balboa Press AU).
JB’s book introduces readers to Rohan, a young print presser working to support his fun-seeking lifestyle. A mysterious order of the monk militia, operating as a modern day cult, leads Rohan on a mystical journey of mayhem and action to resolve their plight, in which he barely retains his sanity and sense of reality. Medieval fantasy intermingles with Rohan’s modern life in secretive and inexplicable ways.
Through these connections to ancient conquered holy lands, Rohan finds himself on an unimaginable adventure, thereby gaining unexpected insight into the world around him, and at the end of it all, he returns with a sense of fulfillment and mystical wisdom.

Through his book, JB hopes that readers, like the main character, may gain a sense of fulfillment. “[The book] not only has the ability to create and delve into escapism, but encapsulates this medium of travel, holiday and mystery in order to give sense of a questionable reality, and bring knowledge and wisdom to the readers,” he states.
A passage in his book reads:
I looked sharply to my left and right, suddenly there stood 13 knights of the Templar order. Genuine and clear as a crisp morning. Their heads were fashioned with merchant hats, and skull caps both white tied to their necks. Three were armored, with one shaven though with long hair curling down to his shoulders. All of them bore the red cross on their chests.
