When his uncle passes away, Holliday discovers a medieval sword-wrapped in Adolf Hitler's personal battle standard.

From AudioFile:

When Army Ranger Lt. Col. John "Doc" Holliday and his niece, Peggy, become the recipients of a family estate, they discover a medieval sword that is thought to be part of the mysterious group known as the Knights Templar. Discovering a hidden message within the sword, Doc and Peggy set out to solve its riddle in an adventure filled with danger around every corner. Narrator Paul Boehmer delivers a somewhat flat performance that fails to convey excitement when the story calls for it--though he differentiates characters well and consistently. But the story itself is somewhat predictable and, when coupled with Boehmer's flat narration, makes for a mediocre listening experience. J.R.G. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
