Customer Reviews

Where did that blade come from?

A thoroughly enjoyable romp across about 700 years of history with the superior storytelling of Michel Jecks and company. The settings are interesting and the major characters are old friends from the five authors represented. Mimi Sherman

great medival mysteries

I really enjoy these medival mysteries.I am looking forward to reading the other books coming out in 2008.

Number Two in a Series

I haven't finished it yet, but one can see that this is a grand follow up to the first in the series ("The Tainted Relic"). Very much worth investigating! See the Latin phrase on the blade with the English transliteration.

SWORD OF SHAME

tHIS AN INCREDIBLE UNITING OF THE BEST OF MEDIEVAL MYSTERY AUTHORS. ALL OF THEM CAN CLAIM TO BE FAVORITES. THE ADVANCE OF THE STORY OF THE DAMNED SWORD IS CUNNING AND SWERVING. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST. GOOD FOR ALL MYSTERY READERS, BUT ESP. FOR MEDIEVALISTS AND THOSE WHO ENJOY THE HISTORY OF THE PERIOD.
