The eagerly anticipated follow-up to the number one bestseller Vagabond, this is the third instalment in Bernard Cornwell's GRAIL QUEST series, in a bright and bold repackage. It is 1347. The Hundred Years War has been suspended. The truce releases English archer Thomas of Hookton to pursue his arch enemy and resume his quest for the most prized relic in Christendom: the Holy Grail. Heading south, Thomas and his men-at-arms begin lightning raids to draw out his enemy. But fate takes an unexpected hand when the plague strikes. What had been a landscape of castles, monasteries, vineyards and villages becomes death's kingdom and the need for the grail, as a sign of God's favour, is more urgent than ever.

The 100 Years War...
I enjoyed reading this book. Cornwell writes battle scenes better than any author I've read. His vivid descriptions make me glad I did not have to live through this the 100-Years War.
It was hard to read the scenes when the protagonist, Thomas of Hookton, was tortured by an inquisitor of the church. And his miraculous healing was a little too quick to be believed. But overall it was a very engaging read.

Good read, but familiar for Cornwell fans
Although I haven't read every book in Cornwell's bibliography, I have read his "Last Kingdom" series, his original "Sharpe" series, and now this one. They've all been highly entertaining reads, and Cornwell's strengths continue to be fine attention to historical detail and thrilling action scenes. One doesn't go to him for in-depth character development, and that's just okay with me. Fans of historical fiction with a heavy bent on action should definitely check out any of Cornwell's series. I would recommend the "Sharpe" series first, but no harm would be done by picking a shorter series, like this one, "The Grail Quest." Highly recommended.

The Heretic
This is the third book in a series called " The Grail Quest " . All three books are very good reads and Bernard Cornwell is an exceptional historical novelist. I would recommend any of his books.
