City of God

The Knights Templar, Book 3

De: S. J. A. Turney

Narrado por: Malk Williams

Journey to the heart of an empire: a jaw-dropping historical adventure from master storyteller S.J.A. Turney.

Arnau de Vallbona and his fellow Templar Brother Ramon are bound for the Holy Land to take part in the great Crusade when fate intervenes.

Delayed in Cyprus, they learn of a growing rift in Christendom: the crusading army has diverted from its course and threatens Rome's allies in the Byzantine Empire. Arnau and Ramon, alongside the irascible Preceptor Bochard, race to Constantinople, encountering a grand and crumbling world of alliances and betrayals, emperors and armies.

The fate of the world is at stake. As Christian forces inexorably collide, Arnau is caught in the middle of an epic siege of the greatest city in the world. He will be tested to his limits: follow his vows... or do what's right?

A novel of awe inspiring scale, battle and story, this is a masterly telling of one of history's great turning points from S.J.A. Turney, perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell, Michael Jecks and K. M. Ashman.

Another amazing creation of S.J.A Turney and brought to life by Malk Williams.

As always I can say honestly I love Turney's writing style and interweaving of history with plausible, if not possible, fiction. As for Malk Williams, I have been an avid fan of his narrative abilities since he dramatized the life abd adventures of Fronto, as well as various other books. He definitely had a spot in my Pantheon of well loved readers. As does Turney among my favorite writers.

Lazy writing

Garbage. Lazy writing. Half formed characters. Incorrect history. Villains are straight out of Saturday morning cartoons. Poor grammar. Meandering plot that was obviously only half formed when Turney started writing. Worst of all, it’s boring.
