"Outlaw"

What I thought of this novel can best be expressed with a question. When will I be able to buy "Holy Warrior" without having to catch a plane to London? I have been waiting a long time.

Absolute thrill-ride!

A friend of mine gave me this book to read, and once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down! It is an intelligent, well written, action-packed piece of historical fiction that depicts a time when the church ruled the land, and the man most skilled with the blade could obtain nearly anything he wanted. On the cover of this book there is a sticker that states "As good as Conn Iggulden or your money back." Well, I believe Angus Donald is BETTER than Conn Iggulden - this book is excellent.

excellent

This is a 'dont put down until your finished' book. I enjoy Bernard Cornwall and this book is in the same league. Well written and researched. Definetly worth a read. In fact I've kept my copy to remind me to buy the sequel when it comes out next year!
