In this sequel to Pagan's Crusade, medieval geopolitics are accurately represented, but the research takes a back seat to vivid characterizations and stink-in-the-nose descriptions of bailey life. The sarcasm and irreverence of the first book have been muted by age and sorry experience, but the fierce bond between knight and squire has only grown stronger.
