Book Log 2006 #52: Knights of the Black and White by Jack Whyte
The first book in a promised trilogy about the Knights Templar, this hefty novel covers their founding and the search for a treasure based on a previous legend. There are various side stories involving a princess of Jersualem and an assassin in her employ, which just adds to the bulk.
For all of what happens in the book it never feels like its moving all that much. There's also a shift in the middle of the book with the addition of a new knight, and the shift pretty much pushes the main characters out of the picture for a decent number of pages.
So while it filled the time while commuting, I don't think I'd search out the next installment.
