It really is an epic tale and should be made into a film. I read this book a few years ago and it really left an impression about how horrific war was back then, very personal and in you're face and we see how it affects people on both sides.

The story is amazing, I'm not going to spoil it for anyone but the depiction of the knights of Saint John the order of the knights hospitaller, warrior monks who's order is older than the knights Templar and still in existence today is just spot on. I can't recommend this book enough a must read for anyone who wants adventure, lust for wealth and love, betrayal and glory... 5 stars
