 Historical Fiction
Angels in Iron
by Nicholas
C. Prata
The year is A.D. 1523 and the island
of Rhodes
has just fallen to the Turks. Those sailing away in defeat from this
bastion are members of an anachronistic crusading order called
the Knights of St. John. Among
the
dejected company is a stalwart young knight named Jean Parisot De La
Valette. Were it up to him, the order would have defended the island to
the bitter end.
Forty-two years later, history has repeated
itself.
The knights are again besieged by the relentless Turk. But
this time the scenario is different -- La Valette wears the Grand
Master's cape. More...

achievement." More...

world of pagans, Arians, and less than sterling Catholics, young
Belisarius earns his command. Young readers will learn a bit about the
sixth century, one of the less studied epochs of history, while meeting
a gallery of interesting characters drawn from all parts of the empire
and outside." More...
