The Archers

Résumé du livre

This is the first book of Martin Archer's exciting and action-packed books about the days when a crusading English archer led his company's handful of survivors back to rough and dangerous England and took Courtenay as a family name because he liked it. It is priced to introduce readers to the many great books in the series.

Arrows fly, swords clash, nobles and church men are gulled out of their coins, and the French and Venetians are successfully blamed for things they did not do. This is the first book of the many books in Martin Archer's exciting and action-packed saga of Cornwall's Company of Archers. It is an enjoyable and sometimes witty read that sticks pins into the church and nobility along the way.The on-going saga of the Company of Archers is set in dangerous and gritty medieval England during a time when there was great upheaval in Britain as the barons rose against the king, the Saracens were lashing out against the Christians for breaking a truce, and Islamic pirates from the Barbary Coast were fighting for control of the Mediterranean.

This is British and English historical fiction at its action-packed best. It will appeal to readers who enjoy action-packed stories of fighting, skulduggery, and intrique.
