Summary
First in a fast-paced historical adventure series from New York Times best-selling author Boyd Morrison and expert medievalist Beth Morrison.
England, 1351. The Pestilence has ravaged the land. Villages lie abandoned but for crows and corpses. Highways are patrolled by marauders and murderers. In these dark and dangerous times, the wise keep to themselves. But Gerard Fox cannot afford to be wise. The young knight has been robbed of his ancestral home, his family name tarnished. To regain his lands and reputation, he sets forth to petition the one man who can restore them.
Fate places Fox on the wrong road at the wrong time as he hurtles towards a chance encounter. It will entangle him with an enigmatic woman, a relic of incalculable value, and a dark family secret. It will lead him far from home and set him on a collision course with one of the most ambitious and dangerous men in Europe—a man on the cusp of seizing Christendom's highest office. And now, Fox is the only one standing in his way....
Critic reviews
"Fantastic—suspenseful and historically fascinating.... Gerard Fox could be Jack Reacher's ancestor, 700 years ago. Highly recommended!" (Lee Child, number one New York Times best-selling author of Better Off Dead)
"A thoroughly entertaining tale that I found to be exceedingly well told.... A novel full of both authenticity and thrills, and readers are sure to clamor for more from this writing duo." (Mark Greaney, number one New York Times best-selling author of The Gray Man)
"The Lawless Land is a compulsively readable, immersive tale of chivalric adventure and dangerous romance in a war-torn, plague-stricken Europe.... A hugely entertaining historical novel!" (Eric Jager, New York Times best-selling author of The Last Duel)

Average adventure tale.
A simplistic tale with a gallant knight, a pretty young maid and dastardly villains who got their just desserts. The narrator could have done 'Allo, 'allo. His accents were comical. I won't be buying any more of this series.

Certainly exciting
An exciting and edge of your seat listen. I'm looking forward to listening to the next book. I'm not au fait about armour or fighting techniques of that time but it felt like the authors had researched it thoroughly. The descriptive passages felt very authentic. The narrator is very good too.

please make it stop
if you are into the 1940s style Robin hood with Eroll Flyn swinging in to slap his thigh then this is the book and reader for you ! Personally the ridiculous cartoonist voices were more than I could handle and I stopped after 10 chapters ..... AWFUL
