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?

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.

"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.
