Great book about treasure from the Crusades. Time setting goes back and forth between present day France and 1096 France.

While I have always been a Patterson fan, I was skeptical about him writing a good historical fiction book. No more doubts - this work meets my strict criteria for good hi-fi. This is not the type of book you can truly escape into, but it's fun, quick and worth it. Feel free to email with any questions. ~LeAnn

Set in the era of the Crusades. The story of murder and mayham brought about by Fudal Lords and one man's journey of revenge. Good reading, short chapters

James Patterson's astonishing seventeenth #1 bestseller. I was unaware that this was a medieval historical novel.

Carol L. from SAN JOSE, CA wrote on 8/3/2008...Fascinating and compelling story - a complete surprise, based on the time of the Crusades! Loved it.
Susan B. from CAPE PORPOISE, ME wrote on 1/15/2008...A great story, really brings you back in time! I recommend it!
This was the first and only James Patterson book I have read. At first, I was put off by the very short, simple sentence structure. It almost seemed like a grade school book. After I got used to the writing style, the story turned out to be pretty good.

very good i wish he would visit this time period again
What a cool read, action, violence, education, and some hillarious jokes! "Jester" is like a stand up, ninja comedian!
