With the long siege of Acre ended, Roger and the Death’s Heads join King Richard in the march on Jerusalem. Richard defeats Saladin at the battle of Arsuf, but is reluctant to move on the Holy City because he fears a trap. Richard tries to hold his fractious army together and lure Saladin to destruction, but he faces a challenge to his leadership from Conrad of Montferrat. Meanwhile, Fauston gets rich selling relics, and Roger attempts to rescue Ailith, who is being held as a slave by the emir Qaymaz.

For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to be a writer. I was one of those kids who always had his nose stuck in a book. My head was full of exotic characters and places and events, and my dream was to be able to create stories like the ones I read. Now that I actually am a writer, I sometimes can't believe it's happened. It seems like it was someone else who wrote those books. Either way, it's a dream come true.

Influences? C.S. Forester (the one and only), Robert Louis Stevenson, Agatha Christie, and others too numerous to mention. Contemporary influences -- the late George MacDonald Fraser and Bernard Cornwell.

The three main characters Ai!ith, Roger, and Fauston are still alive. The Saracens are more on the same page than the Christians. There is infighting amongst the Lords, the Barons, and the Nobles. King Richard is on his way back to England to save his crown from his brother John. Conrad is dead. Ready for the next book.

Again Roger and his Death Heads are in the middle of each battle in the race to get to Jerusalem. The intrigue and politics between the earls and barons and King Richard was real history. All of the battles and main characters were real people and they were in the crusade at the same time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Minor Issues - Very good pace
Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2022
Verified Purchase
Good: Pace was very good, more action than other successful authors of this era. Didn’t switch abruptly back and forth between diff plot lines and timeline . Minimal editing lapses.

Bad: Too much use of idiomatic expressions that weren’t in use back in the 12rh century ‘bloody,’ ‘jumped-up,’ etc.

Ugly: Roger is depicted as some kind of Superman in the beginning book, but now he is more depicts as stupido. All the rolls of the dice seem to favour the baddies in almost every role of the dice. King Richard appears to be shown by the author as a stumblebum with good natured heartiness when he gets his way, but becomes a petulant buffoon when things go against him. Not always the case from reliable historians.

Great story. Enjoyed the second book. But, I have never seen so many typographical errors in a professionally published book. After the first few, I started counting. After that, I stopped because they were distracting me from the story. Bizarre.

4.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing and historical
Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2019

Both 'Death's Head' and 'The Red King' are creative, but follow a historical perspective. Portrayals of the main characters are believable and move the story. Depictions of life as a soldier on the Crusades and the strain of serving, marching, fighting and personal honor/dis-honor, plus the strain of command lend one to interest and further exploration of the story line, as well as historical information. Well worth the read and I eagerly await the next installment.

If you like historical novels, with plenty of action and characters with some subtlety, you’ll enjoy this. The only reservation is the extraordinary good fortune and over the top coincidences enjoyed by the hero. But, a super read encompassing a fascinating period.
