Not a typical Patterson book. I loved this.

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

One of my favorites - set in the medival times and the Crusades. Great character development - great plot with twists and turns to keep you on your toes. GREAT.

Loved this one! I don't generally make my husband read books, but I made him read this one, and he loved it too. It's not exactly standard Patterson fare - this could be classified more in the realm of historical fiction. Set during the Crusades for Jerusalem, a man whose wife is kidnapped by marauders and his child murdered sets out on a crusade of his own to find her; disguising himself as a court jester along the way. This book is a must-read for Patterson fans, and I believe that fans of historical fiction or adventure stories would really enjoy it also.

Most thrilling James Patterson novel yet.

Not what I expected, but fantastic reading!

You are about to begin the Most thrilling James Patterson novel yet. Hugh De Luc returns from the Crusades to discover the his terrifying nightmare has just begun. Merciless killers have slain his young son, kidnapped hiswife, Sophie, and destroyed his town in their search for a priceless relic from the Crucifixion. Hugh's quest to find Sophie is one of the most puls-pounding adventures, mysteries, and unforgettable love stories in all of thriller fiction.

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

Excellent!

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

Very different from his series novels, enjoyed it so much. I love his writing but the "bird kids" aren't my thing.

This book was a bouble treat as I like the time period and it is a very typical James Patterson novel that keeps you interested from page one.

Good book

This is a "midevil times" type of story which I didn't think I would get into, but I did. A little far-fetched in some spots, but a good story over all.

It was ok
