'[A] gripping tale of the Great Siege of Malta...Ferocious and compelling it is a story of blood, romance and sacrifice' **** Daily Express SWORD AND SCIMITAR is the compelling 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. 'This lively, absorbing novel will not disappoint' The Sunday Times 1565, Malta: a vital outpost between the divided nations of Europe and the relentlessly expanding Ottoman Empire.

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...

  1. Spännande
    Emil Karlsson, 24 augusti 2018

    Välskriven bok, bra handling med spännande intriger! Författaren verkar ha bra koll på sin historia. Skall dock tilläggas att engelskan enligt mig var aningen svår, jag har fått slå upp en del ord under läsandets gång då jag inte förstått. Detta var både lärorikt och frustrerande.
