Simon Vance could read a phone book and make it enthralling, but here he is reading a well written, gripping and suspenseful history of the siege of the island of Malta by an enormous hoard of Muslim Turks. The Knights of St. John, one of the last remaining orders of holy warriors from the Crusades, were vastly out numbered, but mounted one of the most amazing and spirited defenses in history. Their leader, Jean de Valette, has come to be regarded as one of the greatest military leaders of all time.
