Summary
The Archers is the first book of an exciting saga of action and adventure set in medieval England. In this compelling tale, an Englishman 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 novel combines military historical fiction with a family saga.

Poor narration
This story could be very interesting, but was hard to follow, because of the flat style of narration. Even the battle scenes were made as exciting as a shopping list. Too many character changes, odd accents chosen that did not help to identify individual characters. A shame, because the setting was unusual with an inter3tingly different angle.

dreary in the extreme
I am sure it is well researched historically, but I have rarely read a book in which the characters were so wooden. There were no imaginative similes. or even descriptions of either people orplace. For once I abandoned the book unfinished.

Sorry for wasting my time
If I had read this totally unscripted as a manuscript I would have been thinking it to be written for children. I wasn't expecting blood and gore, however a bit of excitement every now and then would not go amiss. I never built up the enthusiasm to end it. kept thinking something is going to happen then ...........

An easy listen.
simple short stories, listen to them as though they are chapters of a whole book.
