The eagerly anticipated follow-up to the number one bestseller Vagabond, this is the third instalment in Bernard Cornwell's GRAIL QUEST series, in a bright and bold repackage.

It is 1347. The Hundred Years War has been suspended. The truce releases English archer Thomas of Hookton to pursue his arch enemy and resume his quest for the most prized relic in Christendom: the Holy Grail. Heading south, Thomas and his men-at-arms begin lightning raids to draw out his enemy.

But fate takes an unexpected hand when the plague strikes. What had been a landscape of castles, monasteries, vineyards and villages becomes death's kingdom and the need for the grail, as a sign of God's favour, is more urgent than ever.

Medlemsvurdering:
Heretic fortsetter der Vagabond slipp. Men er på ingen måte ein dårlig oppfølger. Spenninga bygges frå første stund og avsluttes på ein flott måte som runder av boka og triologien med spenning, mot og vennskap. Ein flott fortelling om vennskap satt på prøve, om forbudt kjerlighet og om heltemot. Denne boka er tredje og siste del i serien til Bernard Cornwell om den hellige gral, men på ingen måte avhengig av dei to andre bøkene. Boka har ein handling som er spennande og intressant aleine og definitivt godt skrevet. Fra beleiringer av byer til flukt og til vennskap på tvers av grenser. Nok eit mesterverk frå Bernard Cornwell

ArneZ – 08.07.2005

– "Heretic", the last book in the 3-book medieval Grail Quest series, is where Thomas Hookton finally confronts his cousin, Guy Vexille. Thomas, with his war-band, travels to Astarac, the former home of his infamous family, The Vexilles. Thomas then finds a lover, Genevieve, while at his stay in Astarac. She was a heretic and persecuted by the Church, and was going to be burned, but Thomas saves her. Subsequently, Thomas is also condemned by the Church during a siege in Astarac. He and Genevieve flee from Astarac, and take refuge with the bandits in the hills. Guy Vexille then hunts them down, but is unsuccessful in capturing them.
Compared to the others in the series, Heretic is more about betrayal, deceit and the greediness of the nobleman - while there are also exciting battle scenes. I recommend this book and the Grail Quest series whole heartedly - actually, you must read all three in order.
