Members Reviews:

Truly fine, fantastically fun, historical fiction

Cameron writes of âthe warring lifeâ of 14th Century with truly awe-worthy detail and the sort of synthesis of realism and historical detail and combined with fictional imaginings that make for the very best â the most real âof historical fiction.

He achieves in this book the seemingly impossible : characters who are âaliveâ in the way only the very best fictional creations have life, while being infused with and shaped by an absolutely convincing historical realism that should make them remote and inaccessible, but which â in gestalt â make them every bit as fun, and every bit as human as any modern protagonist.

Wonderfully written, brilliantly imagined and diligently researched. Historical fiction at its absolute best.

(And with a masterfully performed, synced audible narration).

Note: I reserve 5 stars for the very greatest and deepest reads of my life. 4 stars from me is perhaps unfair to the authors â such as Cameron â whom I mean to praise highly. It should be considered the equivalent of the 5 stars given by nearly all positive reviewers as far as I am correlate their intent with mine.

The Sir William Gold Saga Continues Wonderfully

Hard to add much to the accolades already registered for this new William Gold book. Beautifully researched and written in a way that never lets the action wane nor registers a false note about life in the 14th Century. The central character, an English knight for hire, is fully fleshed out and visibly grows from book to book into an increasingly interesting historical character. The reader learns a huge amount about the Mediterranean of the period, as the Ottoman Turks rise and the Byzantine Empire fades. Those interested in the warfare of the times, including weapons and tactics, will be sated by the end of "The Green Count", although no book in the series so far disappoints on that count (on pun intended).

This is a hefty novel, but I didn't want it to end. Nothing to do but wait for the next installment.

Simply the finest historical fiction novel of 2017

Simply the finest historical fiction novel of 2017. Cameron brings the 14th century in the Levant and all its wonderful complexity to life. He breaths life into true historical events giving us the reader wonderful characters to love and hate. The level of detail in the story telling is unmatched by other historical fiction writers. Probably because he lives it as a practitioner of sword fighting and reenacting and personal study of the 14th century. This novel basically covers a year. From Jerusalem to Lesvos to Constantinople the Black Sea and Bulgaria. Our heroes fight many a battle and experience many wonders.
