Free talk at Sittingbourne Library – The Englishman who fought for Genghis Khan
I’m giving a free talk at Sittingbourne Library on Tuesday September 22nd on my Mongol Knight series, which is based on the extraordinary true story of the 13th-century Englishman, a disgraced Templar knight, who fought for Genghis Khan.
That talk, which begins at 6.30pm, will last for about an hour and then I will be selling signed copies of the first two book in the Mongol Knight series, Templar Traitor, and Templar Assassin. This is the blurb from the back of the first novel:
‘Do not lie to me, Templar, or it will be the last thing you do’
July 1241. Western Europe cowers in terror before the threat of a Mongol invasion. The swift cavalry columns of Genghis Khan have smashed the steel-clad warriors of Russia, Poland and Hungary and now Austria lies directly in their path.
At a skirmish outside the walls of Vienna, German knights capture a squad of Mongol scouts and are astonished to discover one of their number is an Englishman, a former Templar, who has been riding with these Devil’s horsemen for more than twenty years.
Interrogator Father Ivo of Narbonne is summoned to draw the truth from the prisoner before his impending trial, to find out why he abandoned his faith, his Brethren and his homeland to become a traitor to Christendom.
Based on a true story, this is the first novel in a new blockbuster trilogy from ‘master of the genre’ Angus Donald.
The tickets are free but you need to book your seat in advance as places are limited. I really hope to see you there. And if you bring along any copies of my other books – the Robin Hood novels, for example – I will be happy to sign them too.
If you can’t make the talk, you can buy copies of Templar Traitor and Templar Assassin from Amazon in paperback and eBook versions. They are also available as audio books
