1. The Archer – "The Archers" is the first book of an exciting saga of action and adventure set in medieval England. It’s a good read—the tale of an Englishman who rises to become the captain of a company of archers and leads its survivors back to England from King Richard’s crusade. Not all of the archers return as a result of intense fighting, but some of the former serfs and free men do return—as hardened veterans determined to improve their lot in cruel and brutal medieval England. This exciting novel combines military historical fiction with a family saga.
2. The Archer’s Castle – "The Archer’s Castle" is the second novel in the saga. William, his brother Thomas, and William’s son George finally reach feudal England with the surviving archers and become embroiled in a war with the Earl of Cornwall that will change England forever.
3. The Archer’s Return – William leaves his son George and his brother Thomas in England and returns to the ports of the Holy Land with his company’s ranks and galleys filled with newly recruited archers armed with long bows and bladed pikes—to earn coins for his family and men by helping refugees escape from the victorious Saracens and carrying pilgrims and merchants between the crusader ports in the face of the Moorish pirates who dominate the Mediterranean Sea and the Barbary Coast.
4. The Archer’s War – Battles result, blood is spilled, and women are won and lost when William and Thomas return from the crusades and discover that King Richard has ignored his regent’s appointment of William and appointed someone else to be the Earl of Cornwall.
This is the fourth book in the acclaimed "The Company of Archers’" saga set in beautiful and brutal medieval England.
5. The Archer’s Marines – This particular tale, the fifth the unknown monk completed, is a combination of the various parchments the monk and his assistants, presumably other monks, have been able to translate and piece together. It describes the lives and experiences of William and his brother and his company of archers in the fateful years of 1194 and 1195. Those are the years when William and his archers return to Cornwall from their second voyage to the Holy Land and the recently ransomed King Richard returns to England to reclaim his realm from Prince John – and raise the coins necessary to wage yet another war to reclaim his French possessions.
It’s an important tale for a very different and perhaps even more significant reason although it is less well known – it is the story of the beginning of what will spread across the world to become one of the world’s most fearsome military forces, the English-speaking Marines.
This then is the story of how a handful of English archers, and a girl the leader of the archers received as a gift and freed from slavery, brought the Marines into being – and how they changed the world by allowing a handful of English speaking fighting men to learn to dominate and civilize it – because they were the very first to actually be trained to fight both on land and at sea.
6. Kings and Crusaders – Richard has died and John is to be crowned king in his place. There is action and excitement as Pope Innocent III calls for another crusade to free Jerusalem and the cities of the Holy Land.
William’s priestly brother Thomas and the archers become involved when the Pope asks Thomas to help one of his assistants carry a "cease and desist" message to the crusaders – it’s a message some the crusaders’ leaders and their Venetian allies know about and are willing to go to war to prevent it from being delivered.
7. The Archer’s Gold – The year is 1203 and John has succeeded Richard the Lionhearted as England’s king. That’s when Thomas is captured while trying to deliver a letter from the Pope to the crusaders gathering to once again try to liberate Jerusalem from the Saracens. The gritty realities of the time and the fighting, action, and betrayal are continuous as William takes his Marines and galleys to Constantinople in an effort to rescue him.
