Review This is the fifth book in the Book of Talon series, but it can be read on its own. The plot is fast-paced, gripping and a real page-turner. The details of the period, as presented in the setting, characters, and language, are evident in Boschert's writing. The novel is highly entertaining; the battle sequences are vividly described in all their gory detail. -- Historical Novel Society Book Review

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. as good as the first four - and that's as good as historical fiction gets! By Emgarb This series is spectacular - the author's first hand knowledge of Persia and the Middle East, along with his keen sense of both history, culture and religion is the background - then he adds characters who are able to leap off the pages and completely involve the reader in their adventures - not to be missed! In terms of telling the story of the era of the Crusades and beyond Boschert has set the standard!

Return of the Assassins of Alamut By Christina Paige The Talon/Assassins of Alamut books comprise an extraordinary series, much more historically authentic than most historical fiction. Besides that, the characters are vivid and the action intense.King Baldwin IV, The Leper King, has a tenuous hold on the Holy City of Jerusalem, but the vast armies of Salah-ed-Din are massing to reclaim it for themselves and to plunder any town or fort along their route. Talon is sent by Sir Guy de Veres to help defend these places, and finds himself in the thick of deadly assaults, political intrigue, and playing a crucial part in terrible battle of Montgisard. When he is offered his choice of any reward by none other than the King himself, he is granted liberty to go on a personal quest. And so, the falcon flies free.Talon's journey across the desert is at once desolate and majestic, and the author conveys the dangers and beauties of this deadly land so perfectly you feel that you are right alongside Talon through it all. Talon has to call on all his knowledge and skill to disguise himself as a merchant named Suleiman, and even that is not enough to save him from imprisonment in the dungeons of Bagdad.One reason Talon survives his many ordeals and adventures is that he befriends the most surprising people, like old men, and women, and beggars, and so-called enemies. Like the falcon he has been named, he sees clearly and is not deluded by rank, or wealth, or the lack thereof. He follows the compass of his heart and the warnings of his instincts.And so at last he wins his way to the one person who can tell him the truth about his long lost love Rav'an... and then go where no man has ever gone —and lived.Two aspects of this series especially impress me: the author clearly has a great deal of knowledge of and respect for his subjects, and he has a sense of the absurd that pops up in the oddest places. When it comes to politics, the worst enemy is the one on your own team; and if a noble friend is the best thing, a noble enemy is the next best. True chivalry rests on knowing that, and in that regard Talon is the truest of knights, no matter where he goes.This is romance, adventure, and warfare of a grand scale; strongly recommended.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. And the story-telling is as good as it’s ever been By Michael Manning With “A Falcon Flies”, the fifth in this author’s series on his medieval hero, Talon, he closes a major chapter in his protagonist’s life, at once tying up many (but not all) of the loose ends that have accumulated since book one and setting us up for Act II. As with all the books in the chain, this one is full of adventure, danger and conflict, and draws us into the cultures and zeitgeist of a now-ancient time in a then-ancient part of the world. Boschert becomes more skillful with each volume at inducing the time-and-place characteristics of his stories without subjecting us to unmotivated exposition of history. And the story-telling is as good as it’s ever been. It’s hard to see how Boschert can now avoid at least several more books in the series, having accomplished both the closure of Talon's developmental youth and insinuating his years of maturation. The family’s back together now, which alone is a major motivator for a different slant on the story’s destiny.
