The Saga of the Archers Continues

De: Martin Archer

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Arrows fly, swords clash, nobles and church men are gulled out of their coins, and the French and Venetians are successfully blamed for things they did not do. This is another book, and one of the very best, in Martin Archer's exciting and action-packed saga of Cornwall's Company of Archers at the dawn of Britain’s military supremacy and the beginning of its great merchant companies. It is an enjoyable and sometimes witty read that sticks pins into the church and nobility along the way. The on-going saga of the Company of Archers is set in dangerous and gritty feudal England during a time when there was great upheaval in Britain as the barons rose against the king, the Saracens were lashing out against the Christians for breaking a truce, and Islamic pirates from the Barbary Coast were fighting for control of the Mediterranean.

This is British and English historical fiction at its action-packed best. It will appeal to the fans of books such as The Game of Thrones because it describes a real game of thrones, and to authors as diverse as Bernard Cornwell, Jeffrey Archer, C.S. Forester, Grif Hosker, Peter Darman, George MacDonald Fraser, and Jerry Auteri.
