À propos de cet audio

 SWORD AND SCIMITAR is the gripping tale of the Great Siege of Malta from Simon Scarrow, bestselling author of the Eagles of the Empire series. A must read for fans of Conn Iggulden and Robert Harris.

1565, Malta: a vital outpost between the divided nations of Europe and the relentlessly expanding Ottoman Empire. Faced with ferocious attack by a vast Turkish fleet, the knights of the Order of St John fear annihilation. Amongst those called to assist is disgraced veteran Sir Thomas Barrett. Loyalty and instinct compel him to put the Order above all other concerns, yet his allegiance is divided. At Queen Elizabeth's command, he must search for a hidden scroll, guarded by the knights, that threatens her reign.

As Sir Thomas confronts the past that cost him his honour and a secret that has long lain buried, a vast enemy army arrives to lay siege to the island...©2012 Simon Scarrow Fiction Fiction de genre Historique Historiques Thrillers et romans à suspense Empire ottoman Impérialisme Siège Redevances Moyen Âge

Ce que les critiques en disent

'[A] gripping tale of the Great Siege of Malta . . . Ferocious and compelling it is a story of blood, romance and sacrifice. As the people fight for their homeland dark secrets emerge which threaten their survival' ****
This lively, absorbing novel will not disappoint
Praise for Simon Scarrow's other novels: 'I really don't need this kind of competition... It's a great read'
Scarrow's [novels] rank with the best
A satisfyingly bloodthirsty, bawdy romp...perfect for Bernard Cornwell addicts who will relish its historical detail and fast-paced action. Storming stuff
Gripping and moving

This is an excellent story by Simon and well read by Jonathan Keeble as always! I really enjoyed the history details that the story captures and the characters wrapped up in the conflict. I think it captures the life and thoughts of a knight very well. I hope simon will write more on this time in human history.

Excellent as always!
