5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, 8 May 2004
By Greg Taylor (Leeds, West Yorkshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pagan's Crusade (Pagan Chronicles) (Paperback)
Pagan's Crusade is but one of four books in the PAGAN CHRONICLES series. At the time of writing (8 May 2004) the next, PAGAN IN EXILE, is scheduled for release later in the year but the remaining two are not yet planned.

Though unsuitable for readers below (say) 12 due to language and some issues of content, these books are truly excellent and I can honestly say I've not quite experienced the same level of anticipation while waiting for each to arrive from Australia that I have with other books.

Superbly researched with a strong historical background, the characters leap off the page and will involve, engross and captivate you.

Pagan is a wonderfully witty storyteller, but his sharp wit never hides his vulnerable soul. He is an orphan who though streetwise, seems to attract trouble. In the Templar Knight Lord Roland, to whom he is appointed squire, he finds an anchor, mentor and a friend.

I could ramble on for hours. Just read them! You'll be glad that you did!

5.0 out of 5 stars Read this book!, 5 Feb 2000
By Gillian Middleton "GillianinOz" (Brisbane, Queensland Australia) - See all my reviews
And hope that the rest of the series is released where you live. (Lucky me, I'm in Australia so I've read all 4).

This book is told from the point of view of Pagan Kidrouk, a young Christian Arab trying to get by back in the bad old days of the Crusades.

No wimpy perfect character this, Pagan is a wise cracking young cynic who's been surviving on his own for quite a while. Then he meets Lord Roland, a Knight Templar, and is assigned to be his squire.

The authors style is very distinctive, very spare and it takes a little getting used to. But it certainly pays off as with very few words she manages to conjure up Pagan and the world he lives in, as well as entertaining us with the young man's witty sarcasm.

I adore this book and this series. You really will laugh and cry as you accompany Pagan on his various adventures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, original novel, 6 May 2006
By Hamstead (Midlands UK) - See all my reviews
  
This review is from: Pagan's Crusade (Pagan Chronicles) (Paperback)
I read Pagan's Crusade after it was recommended to me on a historical fiction blog. This is an excellent novel and definitely crosses over from Young Adult into mainstream. Pagan, the narrator has such personality that he leaves the page and steps into your room. Roland, his master, is gorgeous and I defy any woman reading this novel not to fall for him hook line and sinker.
Basically it's the story of the last days of the crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem and the taking of the city by Saladin. Think Kingdom of Heaven, but with a far greater stab at reality than Ridley Scott makes in his film. It's a lot funnier too.
A fantastic book. I highly reccommend it to all readers of historical fiction - and I'm not easily impressed!

From the very first page you're picked up and whirled, breathless into the world of Pagan - unlikely and unwilling squire and ultimately hero. Read more
