The Archer (The Company of Archers Book 1)

This is the first book in Martin Archer's great action-packed saga of Cornwall's Company of Archers at the dawn of Britain's rise to military supremacy and the beginning of its great merchant companies. Arrows fly, swords clash, nobles and church men are gulled out of their coins, and the French and Venetians are successfully blamed for things they did not do.

This is one of the many books in Martin Archer's exciting and action-packed saga about the men of Cornwall's Company of Archers. It is an enjoyable and often witty read that sticks pins into the church and nobility along the way. The on-going saga of the Company of Archers is set in dangerous and gritty medieval England during a time when there was great upheaval in Britain as the barons were rising against the king, the Saracens were lashing out against the Christians for breaking a truce, and Islamic pirates from the Barbary Coast were fighting each other and everyone else for control of the Mediterranean.

This is the first book in an on-going saga. There are more. They are British and English historical fiction at its action-packed best and will appeal to readers who enjoy stories about medieval times and the real world of the men whose decisions and adventures caused Britain to rise as a great military and commercial power.
