Posted - 28 June 2008 : 8:52:06 PM Ideally I'm looking for something in the vein of Simon's Eagle series or Mr Cornwell's books.
Preferably late Crusades if I can be choosy!
Any recommendations spring to mind?

Posted - 05 July 2008 : 09:21:13 AM "Brethren" and "Crusade" by Robyn Young are about the Templars/late crusades and are an ok read - though not fantastic.
"The Crusader" by Michael Eisner was a good book (Though i can't remember what period of the crusades it was set)
I'm just about to read "The Mosaic of Shadows" by Tom Harper which is the first book in a trilogy set during the first crusade (the others being Knights of the Cross and Siege of Heaven)- I'll let you know if its any good.
Thats about all i can think of, but if i come up with any more i'll add them later. |

Posted - 30 June 2008 : 9:28:11 PM I really like "Jerusalem" by Cecelia Holland, at the time of the 3rd Crusade. That late enough for you?
"Baudolino" by Umberto Eco was fascinating, although Eco can be a bit rambling for people's tastes.
