I've been trying to clear out my Prime Reading books, some of which I have had for ages! I've had this one since 2018. So far I am in Volume 1 in which the main characters have managed to escape the Holy Land by sea and docked in to Cyprus for supplies and some land time. They begin a ferry service shipping supplies back to Palestine and bringing refugees hoping to get back to Europe. The main characters are engaging and have already had a couple of interesting adventures. (I am about half way through the first book.) I will probably be working on this one for long while.
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 a collection of the entire first six books in Martin Archer's exciting and action-packed saga of Cornwall's Company of Archers at the dawn of Britains 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 and authors such as Bernard Cornwell, Jeffrey Archer, C.S. Forester, Griff Hosker, Peter Darman, and Jerry Auteri.
