A Knight Of The White Cross, Henty Audio-- Jim Hodges

A Knight of the White Cross
A Tale of the Seige of Rhodes

Setting: The Mediterranean from 1470-1480.

Story:
The story begins during the War of the Roses in England, but our hero, Gervaise Tresham soon joins the Knights of St. John in Rhodes. Dedicated to Gods service and pious in his personal life, Gervaise uncovers a plot, saves the coast of Italy from the Muslim corsairs, and is knighted by the Grand Prior. After being captured by and escaping from the enemy, the young English knight draws his sword in the defense of Rhodes. He finds himself in a tough position desiring marriage, but having taken a vow of chastity! In the end, it is the Roman pontiff himself that gives him the release he needs to wed.

I was requested repeatedly by young men and women to record this book. When asked why, the invariable response was "there is so much action!" I agree, and hope you enjoy this book as much as I did! . . .Jim Hodges
