It starts violently, violently it continues ... It is beautifully written, and battle stories are realistic nauseum. This excessive and without conflict between Christians and Muslims thank you carries the warrior fanaticism at its worst, showing a butcher with the ultimate goal mastery of the Mediterranean and the judgment brought to the Turkish expansion in the West. You learn a lot in this story that captivated me yet not to the point of reading it in one sitting. Violence, war until lécœurement, the turpitude of the Inquisition, we feel bad shots come all this was a bit tired and I admit I abandoned the book several times. This is only a personal opinion as to the rest heroes are up the story and reader expectations. A good adventure story, bloody war and love, for lovers of the genre.
