Product Description

Product Description
Two boys - two faiths - one unholy war ...When Adam's mother dies unconfessed, he pledges to save her soul with dust from the Holy Land. Employed as a dog-boy for the local knight, Adam grabs the chance to join the Crusade to reclaim Jerusalem. He burns with determination to strike down the infidel enemy ...Salim, a merchant's son, is leading an uneventful life in the port of Acre - until news arrives that a Crusader attack is imminent. To keep Salim safe, his father buys him an apprenticeship with an esteemed, travelling doctor. But Salim's employment leads him to the heart of Sultan Saladin's camp - and into battle against the barbaric and unholy invaders.

5.0 out of 5 stars a fascinating read, 3 Jul 2007
This review is from: Crusade (Hardcover)
Crusade is a terrific read. It's the story of two boys - one in the Holy Land and one heading for the Holy Land as part of Richard the Lionheart's Crusade. Gradually their lives converge and they meet. It's a life-changing meeting. This author is always so good at historical detail, and I learnt such a lot about a conflict which has all kinds of similarities and links with what's going on in the Middle East today. Very well worth reading for the excellent story as well as the light it sheds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow, 19 May 2008
By Chantal Lyons (Kent, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Crusade (Hardcover)
I read this book in one evening. It was absolutely gripping; it even stopped me from revising which probably isn't a good thing but it's a testament to the quality of the book.

I don't really have much to say, except that I found myself close to tears at the end. It was so beautiful, and for those with an interest in (or indeed a despair of) the Middle Eastern crisis, and the war raging between different faiths, it will strike a chord. Wonderfully written, with loveable characters and a story you will never forget.

2.0 out of 5 stars How much more predictable can you get?, 2 Oct 2008
Its pretty awful, its predictable, slow and boring, what a waste of a poor liitle self-defenceless tree.
