Summary
Bring history back to life through Jim Hodges' historically accurate, exciting, and edifying audio recordings.
The story begins during the War of the Roses in England, but our hero, Gervaise Tresham, soon joins the Knights of St. John in Rhodes. Dedicated to God's service and pious in his personal life, Gervaise uncovers a plot, saves the coast of Italy from the Muslim corsairs, and is knighted by the Grand Prior. After being captured by and escaping from the enemy, the young English knight draws his sword in the defense of Rhodes. He finds himself in a tough position, desiring marriage but having taken a vow of chastity! In the end it is the Roman pontiff himself that gives him the release he needs to wed.

Awful Narration
The story was OK but the narrator was just awful, pronunciation was all over the place, since when has quay been pronounced “kway” and I often felt like I was at a child’s story time with the delivery of the dialogue, very disappointing.

Accent!
Why choose an American narrator for this British history story? His mispronunciations grated so badly ( it’s « Worrick » not « War-wick ») that I switched off after 5 mins. Bad decision, Audible.
