Book Review: The Long Arm of the Templars

What we have here is, basically, the Grand Unified Conspiracy Theory. The author takes a semiotic grand tour of which Umberto Eco would be proud and ends up proving that the Knights Templar assassinated JFK and that the Holy Grail is an alien artefact.

(And now you don't have to read the book. You're welcome. But should you still wish to do so, it's available in the iBooks Store, and from Lulu, for 99p.)

For me, the most interesting thing is the author himself. Now no longer with us, the forward to this first English edition hints at a few brief months of fame in Europe at some unspecified date (late 70s? early 80s?), a murky, possibly questionable past, and a mysterious death. I think I'm intrigued enough to do a little digging into Sig. Moretti.
