Warbow

The Saga of Roland Inness, Volume 2

By: Wayne Grant

Narrated by: James Young

Having found his place as a squire to a Norman knight, Roland Inness sets off with his master, Sir Roger de Laval, and fellow squire on a perilous mission to the Holy Land. King Richard has sworn to take Jerusalem from Saladin and orders Sir Roger to assess the military situation. Joining them is the Templar Knight Tuck as they contend with Moors, Berbers and a Sicilian usurper before reaching the battlefields in the east. There, Roland sees the ugly face of war and tests his mettle.

In England, the land is awash in political intrigue, led by Prince John and Sir William de Ferrers, Roland's mortal enemy. Countering them is Queen Eleanor who picks Sir Roger's daughter Millicent for her own mission—one that puts her at the center of a plot to turn England against King Richard. Warbow, the action-filled follow-on to Longbow, is the second book in The Saga of Roland Inness series.

Great series

You will find that is well worth listening to this exciting, excellent series. The good guys are great; the baddies really bad. Thus, a classic genre. Very highly recommended!

Good story

I found the story interesting and well written. It came off as being plausible with only a couple of things that seemed a stretch. The narration was quite weak, however, with any accent other than male English sounding at times ridiculous.
If this had been read by someone like Marston York I think it would have been better.

Roland Innes

Great book, love the fact that it follows history, even though not exact. Will read the next one ASAP!!

Outstanding story, performed exceptionally

If you liked Longbow, you’ll likely love Warbow. It’s a well-written medieval action book set in the English ranks of The Crusades. The reading is excellent, and I intend to seek out more books by both the author and reader.

A sad social justice story

The crusade and Middle Ages as seen through the eyes of a modern day social justice warrior.
