The Crusader

Kingdom Come, Book 1

De: Kathryn Le Veque

Narrado por: Brian J. Gill

Along the ancient Pilgrim Trail traveled by countless crusaders from Europe to The Holy Land, Dr. Rory Osgrove is in charge of her first archaeological dig. A Biblical Archaeologist by degree, her target is a holy relic of unimaginable power. But what she discovers instead is the tomb of a long-buried Crusader, one of the thousands who came to this desert land in search of glory and riches. Deterred from her original goal, Rory is fascinated by the English knight and the journal buried with him. Reading the pages of the ancient diary, she comes to know a man of power and honor, entrusted by Richard the Lionheart with a mission of astonishing importance. Sir Kieran Hage was no ordinary Crusader and, as Rory discovers, nor is he really dead. Eight hundred years later, Kieran's mission must be completed, but there is an ancient evil that follows him and is still determined to see him fail. Now Rory begins the adventure of a lifetime, where time has no meaning, where honor is strength, and where only true love endures.

Medieval Sleeping Beauty

I always enjoy Kathryn Le Veque's books and this 2 part "the crusader" series is no exception. This first book takes place in the year of 2012 and introduces the main character Rory, who is an archaeologist on a dig for religious artifacts. She is a strong willed character who fights for love even when centuries threaten to divide.

I liked this book a lot but I liked the second book "Kingdon Come" even better. I actually think KL should have made this series one big book instead of splitting the two. So, if you listen to this one and enjoy it make sure you listen to "Kingdom Come" too. ;-)

Best one yet

I fell in love with this book with in the first couple chapters. I was so hooked with this book. I just had to keep going with the second. I love it!!!

Wonder!

The author has woven a story in a story here that made me hold my breathe more than once! Very well performed, I believe the reader brought out the very best of the story providing more than I would have gotten if I had read the The Crusader without it. This author is a WONDER!

The ending...

Intriguing story with decent narration. However, you can’t just end a book like that. Give some narration of what happened. The ending was just too abrupt.

Different

A entertaining story, though, not as enjoyable as most LeVeque tales. Narrator was accomplished, with a good portrayal of characters.
