Editorial Reviews

Product Description

"How much jousting have you done?"

"A little," replied the young troubadour.

"A little!" the Templar said ironically. "In tournaments all over Europe, Count Amalric has bested hundreds of knights. Many times he has killed men. Of course, it is against the rules. But he is a master at making it look like an accident." He looked at Roland with an almost fatherly kindness. "Indeed, Messire, the best advice I could give you would be not to enter the tournament at all."

Roland laughed. "Such cautious advice from a Templar?"

"We fight for God, Messire. Have you as great a motive?"

"Yes, I do," said Roland, seeing Nicolette's eyes shining in the darkness before him. "I fight for love."

5.0 out of 5 stars Love and war against the backdrop of the Crusades, September 28, 2009

Rascal the Cat (Boston) - See all my reviews

This review is from: All Things Are Lights (Hardcover)

This is perhaps my all-time favorite book. It has everything; war, romance, religious intolerance, second chances and redemption. Every time I have lent this book out, I have lost it, because to read it is to fall in love with it...

As a historian, I can tell you that the author knows his history; there are no glaring errors the likes of which keep me from reading most historical fiction. As a writer, I can tell you that the author knows how to write. As a die-hard romantic, I can tell you that this books satisfies at levels of my soul that remain untouched by most novels.

You can access the book online at http://bobshea.net/all_things_are_lights.html. The author's son as posted the book with a license through Creative Commons. But do yourself a favor and track down a copy. You'll want to own and return to this world again and again...

5.0 out of 5 stars Big...Thrilling...Spectacular historical..Highly Recommended, August 18, 2001

By 

Linda Hepworth "Avid Mystery Reader" (San Antonio, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: All Things Are Lights (Mass Market Paperback)

Historical fiction has romance, intrigue, spies, torture, war and the Knights Templar. Takes place during the Inquistion and France's religious crusade into Egypt. The book revolves around a wandering troubadour/knight and the two women he has loved, both unattainable; and the knight he hates and wants to kill, but cannot because he is close to the King.

Very historical detailed book.

A very enjoyable book...Don't be thrown off by the title, you'll find out what it means while reading the book.

Highly Recommended!!
