Rosslyn and the Grail (2005)
* Quite a good debunking of the modern Rosslyn myths as created by Andrew Sinclair, Timothy Wallace-Murphy, etc containing important newly published material ? however, because of several minor faults and crucial historical omissions the definitive book on Rosslyn has yet to be written.

* Chapter 18 to this book ('A Secret Priory') contains material taken directly from this website without permission or any acknowledgements. But this does not make Laurence Gardner's book better reading ? still favouring Pierre Plantard's fantasy from the early 1960s that the Priory of Sion was "founded in 1099 by Godfrey de Bouillon".

The Da Vinci Legacy (novel, 2004 - originally published in 1983)
* On 4 August 2005 Lewis Perdue failed to sue Dan Brown for copying material from his novels 'The Da Vinci Legacy'(1983) and 'Daughter of God'(2000) because U.S. District Judge George B. Daniels ruled that 'The Da Vinci Code' was "simply a different story". It is clear that Dan Brown has used some of the material in Perdue's novels in 'Da Vinci Code' but Brown had denied that he had heard of Perdue's novels.
