Conspiracy Suisse is a thrilling descent into a world where every revelation is a breadcrumb leading to a deeper, darker conspiracy, leaving readers questioning the narrative long after the final page. As the characters traverse landmarks, the reader becomes an unwitting co-conspirator, unraveling the threads of a narrative woven with historical truths and shadowy half-truths.

What truly stood out was the author’s skill in crafting a narrative that not only explores the Templars’ historical influence on Switzerland but also tackles contemporary issues like digital currency wars. A grand conspiracy meticulously orchestrated through the ages.

Conspiracy Suisse takes readers on a captivating journey through Switzerland’s historical and financial tapestry, drawing on the purported involvement of the Knights Templar in our nation’s formation. As a Swiss reader, the narrative’s exploration of our country’s landmarks and the intricate plot centered around SWB evokes a sense of familiarity and curiosity. While the idea of Templar influence is fascinating, there’s a discernible layer of skepticism, rooted in the fact that our history is rich enough without the need for embellishments. The author’s portrayal of Swiss landscapes and the shareholder meeting rings true to our cultural identity, making it an engaging read. However, the ongoing assaults on SWB add a speculative element that, as a Swiss person, feels more like a creative stretch than a reflection of current realities. Nevertheless, I thought Conspiracy Suisse was an enjoyable dive into the fusion of history and finance.

A fascinating, indescribable saga of events surrounding the Banking industry!!! This book despite the number of its pages keeps the reader totally immersed in it, not waiting for it to end but to learn how the matter would be resolved in a manner acceptable to all. I do hope that there is a sequel to this book as I am eager to know the outcome of the Grand Master's invitation to Peter. Thanks for a remarkable and astounding book, the fabulous combination of daughter - father combination, Filia Pater!!! I am eagerly waiting for the sequel!!!

I could not put it down once I began reading *Conspiracy Suisse*. It was utterly captivating. Each chapter left me with a burning curiosity about what would happen next. This book masterfully blends suspense, thriller, history, and today's capitalist business world, all woven together with skilled and resourceful penmanship. The writing is excellent, and the characters feel incredibly real. Their sincere character descriptions make you feel like you know them personally, like old friends. The plot is rich with historical details, particularly about the Knights Templar, the history of money, and Switzerland's storied past. The pacing is perfect, making the journey to uncover the mystery more engaging. I absolutely loved *Conspiracy Suisse* and believe it would make an excellent movie. I look forward to reading more from this talented writer.

Once I began reading this book I could not put it down. It was very captivating. Each chapter leaves you with a curiosity of what would happen next. I really enjoyed it very much. It is suspense, thriller, history and todays capitalist business world all combined in a very skilled and resourceful penmanship. The writing is excellent and the characters are so real. The sincerity in their character descriptions make you feel like you know them like a friend. Detailed descriptions of the visited locations in Zurich, Luzern, Basel, Rome, London, Milan and Istanbul, cities I love and know, made me feel like I am in those locations myself and reminded me of the days I was there. And the food... wow... made my mouth water each time the hero/heroin eats or drinks. Being a foody myself, detailed descriptions of the wine and food made me decide to visit each one of the locations one by one and soon. The plot is enriched with historical details and the thorough research about Knight Templars, the story of money and history of Switzerland is impeccable and ads to the mystery and complexity of the subject. The book is so well paced and so interesting especially of the way the mystery is uncovered, I almost felt sorry I finished reading it. I totally loved this book and I think it would make a very good movie. I hope I can find more of this writer's books.

When looking for a unique thriller that contains all the requisite suspense, engaging characters, and believable, albeit worrisome, corporate dealings (greed, deception, and entanglements) one can't do better than Conspiracy Suisse. This remarkable first time writer manages to hold the reader's interest in the plot while subtly educating him in a remarkable array of subjects from religion, European history, banking and Epicurean taste. While the plot understandably demands cities of international influence and sophistication, there is a delightful element of lesser known, less touristic Swiss towns that hold surprisingly significant historical importance along with their quaint picturesque qualities. While the corporate dealings and the plot itself are both serious and foreboding, it should be noted that there are occasional moments when references to American business practices and influence are met with unexpected albeit sardonic assessments. Equally valuable is the scholarly and fascinating collection of background history, legends, predictions and invitations for discussions that accompany the novel. Don't overlook this treasure at conspiracysuisse.com.

This book shows such a genuine deep inside knowledge of the banking industry and knowledge of history that the thought comes up that maybe this is a book of facts and not fiction. Maybe the fiction is what the media told us? Excellent read!

The claim of the Knights Templar shaping Switzerland’s history is a bold premise, and while the story unfolds with well-crafted characters and suspenseful twists, there’s a lingering sense of skepticism. Grand Master’s quest to reclaim SWB seems almost too fantastical. The resolution offers a neat conclusion, yet the lingering doubts about the Templar influence and the digital currency wars left me with a sense of uncertainty.

Conspiracy Suisse presents a tale of historical intrigue and financial drama, but as a British reader, I found the depiction of British bankers scheming against the Swiss in a rather one-dimensional light. While I appreciate the author’s creative liberties, the portrayal of the British bank BRB as the antagonist orchestrating a takeover of SWB feels somewhat clichéd. I would have expected an American bank in that role 🙂 It’s essential to acknowledge that the complexities of global finance involve multiple players with varied motives, and reducing the conflict to a one-sided conspiracy detracts from the nuance of real-world financial dynamics.

The author’s ability to intricately weave together historical elements with a modern financial thriller is truly commendable, leaving room for a skeptical reader to ponder the line between fact and fiction. The characters are well-developed and engaging. The resolution adds a satisfying layer to the story.

This book hooks you from the get-go with its bold claim of Templar involvement in shaping Swiss history. What sets it apart is the author’s knack for crafting characters that feel alive. The plot is a labyrinth of puzzles, high-stakes heists, and corporate intrigue, skillfully mixed with conspiratorial elements.
