Audiobook ( ) De nuevo en Francia, el sitio de Calais da la oportunidad a Thomas de Hookton de destacar en el combate y de tener bajo su mando a un grupo de hombres. Al frente de ellos se interna por tierras francesas, y casualmente entra en contacto con una joven que está a punto de ser condenada a la hoguera por hereje, y sirviéndose de la autoridad que le ha sido conferida la salva en el último momento. Paralelamente a esta trama, sigue desarrollándose la búsqueda del Grial, que en las últimas páginas da un giro inesperado que convierte la continuación de la serie en todo un reto y genera una gran intriga respecto a la próxima entrega de la misma. Resulta sorprendente el exhaustivo y detallado conocimiento que Cornwell despliega acerca de las batallas medievales, las armas, las tácticas, etcétera, pero más incluso el extraordinario talento para introducirlos en el marco de una trma en la que la acción y la intriga van inseparablemente unidas. TÃtulos de la trilogÃa Los arqueros del rey Los arqueros del rey La batalla del Grial El sitio de Calais. As I have come to expect from this brilliant Author, this book is well researched and written with quality characters throughout. The action wanes a little mid way through, compared to the two previous books in the series but picks up again towards a terrific ending. Clever descriptive narrative throughout. The holy grail part of the series is a trifle far fetched but enjoyable all the same. Recommended. Heretic is #3 in Bernard Cornwell's Grail Quest series set in the 14th Century. Thomas Hookton is an English archer whose father was believed to possess the Holy Grail. Thomas's father was killed by those who wanted the power they thought the Grail would give them. In this story Thomas goes to Gascony in France to learn about his family and seek out his father's murderer. Many adventures and battles follow.
The usual Cornwell bull’s-eye.

HTML: From New York Times bestselling author Bernard Cornwell, the sequel to The Archer's Tale and Vagabondâ??the spellbinding tale of a young man, a fearless archer, who sets out wanting to avenge his family's honor and winds up on a quest for the Holy Grail. Already a seasoned veteran of King Edward's army, young Thomas of Hookton possesses the fearlessness of a born leader and an uncanny prowess with the longbow. Now, at the head of a small but able band of soldiers, he has been dispatched to capture the castle of Astarac. But more than duty to his liege has brought him to Gascony, home of his forebears and the hated black knight who brutally slew Thomas's father. It is also the last place where the Holy Grail was reported seen. Here, also, a beautiful and innocent, if not pious, woman is to be burned as a heretic. Saving the lady, Genevieve, from her dread fate will brand Thomas an infidel, forcing them to flee together across a landscape of blood and fire. And what looms ahead is a battle to the death that could ultimately shape the future of Christendom. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
