First, let me say you should read the  three earlier books in The Normans series.  While enjoying Culley's prose and unique ability to blend his story with the period history you will have become interested and attached to the various members and generations of the de Culle family branches.You may have read many books about the Third Crusade...but, this is not just another crusade novel!  It is the culmination of the tale of a few generations of literary friends in Northern Britain and Scotland during and following the Norman Conquest of Britain.You will enjoy the interpersonal actions of the characters in the story and their impact of history.  The characters in Culley's books are, in behavior, not much different from folks in our present time....some are brave,  some are cowardly, some are selfless in their actions,  some are greedy and venal; but, all are interesting to learn about and follow through perilous times.Mr. Culley is a master of his craft.  His battle scenes are believable, his characters well developed, and his overall period of history well researched.I look forward to further work by Mr. Culley.  (Since he had some of the de Cullle family living in Scotland and Northern England at the end ot Seeking Jerusalem, I hope that we may hear how these folks prosper is future trouble between England and Scotland;)
