About this listen

Swedish author Jan Guillou follows up the highly acclaimed The Road to Jerusalem with the second book in his Knights Templar trilogy.

The Knight Templar follows Arn's adventures in the Holy Land, where he discovers that the infidel Saracens aren't as brutish and uncivilized as he had been led to believe, and that in fact there is another, darker side to the teaching of the Cistercians.

Extremely Enjoyable

I was completely captivated by this book. The characters are much more developed and interesting than what I usually find is the case in historical novels. The story is interesting, exciting and moving, and you really become engaged in the fate if the characters.

Fascinating story

I first read Jan Guillou’s trilogy over a decade ago, and coming back to it as an audiobook has reaffirmed my view that it’s one of the best historical fiction series ever written.

I’m sure Guillou’s dry style isn’t for everyone, but his turn of phrase, even as a translated text, is like a warm hug. There’s an innocence to his writing that I love, despite some chapters being detail heavy. Start at the beginning with The Road to Jerusalem, and stick with it.

An absolute treasure.
