In vengeance, Will infiltrates Richard's army to find the marauding gang, and finds himself swept along in the march of the Crusades. With the help of new allies and fuelled by his loss, Will crosses Europe with the King's army.

Critic Reviews

PRAISE FOR THE PILGRIM'S REVENGE:
Fast paced, deeply immersive, The Pilgrim's Revenge is a belter of a novel . . . [Scott Mariani] shows his deep knowledge of the period in this excellent read. A read-to-the-end page turner, this is historical fiction as it should be written
Two of my favourite things have come together - Scott Mariani's masterful storytelling and the medieval world. Meticulously researched and skilfully brought to life, The Pilgrim's Revenge is an action-packed, roller coaster ride. The gripping, and at times agonising, adventures of Will the Bowman have only just begun - and I'm hooked!
Classic storytelling on an epic scale
Fast-paced, exhilarating . . . Punctuated by bloody battles, exquisite swordplay and a thrilling storyline, the action is relentless . . . The research is exemplary . . . Will Bowman is a character I look forward to hearing much more about
PRAISE FOR SCOTT MARIANI:
James Bond meets Jason Bourne meets The Da Vinci Code
Compelling from the first page until the last . . . will have you turning the pages well into the night
Thrilling. Scott Mariani is at the top of his game
Non-stop action - this book delivers
If you've got a pulse, you'll love Scott Mariani
An awesome writer
Mariani has clearly researched the late 12th century in some detail - and delivers a gripping tale
All stars

I love Scott Mariani's books. But this one is beyond boring. Very disappointing. Not one exciting character to grab onto.
Guess I'll wait for a new Ben Hope book

Boring

Loved Benedict Hope and was looking forward to Scott’s new series. Had to force myself to finish this book, not in any hurry for a sequel. Sorry Scott, it was boring.

Is this the same author?
