Newswire

Mark your calendar now for Tuesday, August 4, 9 PM Eastern/6 PM Pacific
for our next book discussion at AccessibleWorld.org’s Let’s Read
Historical Novels.

September’s historical novel is “The Religion” by Tim Willocks, a
monumental work of fiction based on the very factual 1565 siege of the
Knights of Malta, the Hospitallers, by the combined forces of the
Islamic world. It follows the involvement in the struggle of Matthias
Tannhauser, a gentleman adventurer, as he looks for the lost son of a
beautiful woman. The Inquisition ever threatens to catch him up as his
own quest for peace hits head-on the savagery of the combatants. Be
prepared for some of the most grueling scenes of the casualties of
battle, but also two tender love stories that you won’t soon forget.

This is a long book, so get started on it as soon as you can.

This book is available in numerous accessible formats besides the print
edition:

 From the National Library Service, RC 66503.

Available as audio download and audio CD from Audible.com.
