Jerusalem Falls

by Jack Dixon

For nearly two hundred years, the Crusades have raged across the Holy Land. Now, the Kingdom of God in Jerusalem is foundering, and support from Europe has waned. The city of Jerusalem has been in Muslim hands since Saladin, and more key cities fall with each passing decade. Louis de Garonne has resolved to change that. Pursuing his boyhood dreams into the Order of the Knights Templar, and across the sea to the shores of Outremer, he hopes to breathe new life into the Holy Crusade and to see the recapture of both the city of Jerusalem and the venerated True Cross, both of which Saladin captured nearly a century ago. However, Louis faces his own personal battles. At every turn, conflicts arise and threaten to undermine his dreams. He discovers love that could unravel his commitment to the Templar Order. His loyalty to the Crusade is challenged by disorder among the crusading armies. His convictions about right and wrong are threatened by human nature itself. Will Louis overcome these challenges to realize triumph in his quest?

About the author

Jack Dixon is the author of the award-winning historical novels, The Pict, and Jerusalem Falls. His fascination with history inspires him to write stories that bring historical characters and events to life.

Author's note:
I did not write "Dowding and Churchill," nor "Secrets of the Alpha Male, nor "A Book of Simple Crochet Flowers for Beautiful Handmade Decor," but for some reason Goodreads still has these books linked to my account. I don't really much care what secrets alpha males keep, or what Dowding's relationship to Churchill might have been, and I don't know the first thing about crocheting flowers. Those books were apparently written by other Jack Dixons, of which I guess there are many.

Reviews

[Maggie Reed · Rating 5 out of 5]

They won't let me give 5 stars twice! As always, Jack Dixon doesn't disappoint. To say it's one of the best books I've read would be an understatement. Big huge review coming.
