Rendition Supposing Books Vagabond (Grail Quest #2)

From New York Times bestselling author Bernard Cornwell, the sequel to The Archer's Tale—the spellbinding tale of a young man, a fearless archer, who sets out wanting to avenge his family's honor and winds up on a quest for the Holy Grail. In 1347, a year of conflict and unrest, Thomas of Hookton returns to England to pursue the Holy Grail. Among the flames of the Hundred Years War, a sinister enemy awaits the fabled archer and mercenary soldier: a bloodthirsty Dominican Inquisitor who also seeks Christendom's most holy relic. But neither the horrors of the battlefield nor sadistic torture at the Inquisitor's hands can turn Thomas from his sworn mission. And his thirst for vengeance will never be quenched while the villainous black rider who destroyed everything he loved still lives. "Cornwell writes the best battle scenes of any writer I've read past or present."—George R.R. Martin

Rate Of Books Vagabond (Grail Quest #2)

The second book of the Grail Quest series. It continues the quest to find the Holy Grail, but as seems to be the case with Grail stories, there are many other people after the same thing. It continues the exploits of Thomas of Hookton an English archer, who has already fought for king and country against the French at the battle of Crecy, in the first book. He continues the quest and ends up at varying times fighting the Scots, French, Bretons, his own cousin, the clergy and sometimes the

4.5 stars but the glass is half full.Mister Cornwell delivers yet again. It's amazing how all of his book i read to this date have been pushing all the right buttons for me. He is very good in creating a world of history where the characters come to life. From torture to love, you can't help to feel for Thomas of Hookton. Although the recipe in his storys are quite similar it still keeps me on edge. It's a pleasant feeling to know i still have his Sharpe series (22 books) to entertain myself

He could hear the hoofbeats now and he thought of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, the dreadful quartet of riders whose appearance would presage the end of time and the last great stuggle between heaven and hell. War would appear on a horse the color of blood, famine would be on a black stallion, pestilence would ravage the world on a white mount, while death would ride the pale horse.I love this series. The search for the holy grail continues with Thomas Hookton, a character I instantly

Another one of my "second reads" - something I am doing a lot of since I retired and cash is not so easy to come by, mind with 2,500+ books I have a selection to choose from!Whereas the first in the Grail series can be read as a stand alone, this one is obviously only part of the overall story.Cornwell's tales often start and end with a battle, and this is so in this book: Nevilles Cross and the amazing La Roche-Derrien (in the first book it is the England besieging the town, in this book it is

Well...what can I say here? It took me forever (not literally of course) to get around to this book. It's one I kept moving other books "in front of" so to speak (please forgive the poor grammar).Thomas is still somewhat undecided here...well actually he's not. He simply wants to lead archers in battle but he's been charged with finding the Holy Grail (sadly he doesn't really believe the Grail is real and he does believe that his father was a bit...well...cracked[?]) So accordingly he makes some

This was a great book. This is the second of three. I will give a full review later.Be Blessed.

Book Two of a three book series about an English archer's quest for the Grail, that his father may or may not have had at one time. I enjoy the actual history that Cornwell uses.
