Enjoyed this story very much!


(5 stars)

Sir Chrispin is a powerful knight with a rough reputation, hence his nickname of the Tavern Knight. However, he has good reason for his rough way of living. His wife and son were brutally murdered some 18 years ago, and he feels like he has nothing to live for except exacting revenge against those who committed this horrible crime. Fate, it would seem, has other plans for Chrispin. He may yet have a chance at redemption, and even a new life. But first, he must escape the hangman's noose and avoid the many attempts on his life. The chapters are mostly well-read, with a few errant noises here and there. The story line was great, all in all a wonderful book to listen to. Enjoy!

Good aventure story


(4 stars)

An enjoyable book. The book is read by different readers. Ric Cornwall read most of the book and is an engaging reader. Deborah Knight that read two of the chapters reads clearly, but perhaps overacts the different voices. Ted Garvin's recordings are of lower quality. All in all, an enjoyable book. Thanks to the readers!

Starts slow but gets much better


(4.5 stars)

Learned about the English Civil War from this book. Characters all have complicated lives, which adds to the enjoyment. It makes me glad that I live now. The father/son relationship was developed really well.

fantastic
