Description
The Honorable Knight is the first book in the series The Fellowship of the Ancient Covenant. In the year 1099 AD, four young adults, Ian, Jacques, Serena, and Desiree, enter into an ancient covenant to protect mankind from evil forces for a millennium. Ian leaves a hard scrabble farm in Eire on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Ian meets Jacques, a wealthy young knight, in France, and they join the First Crusade. They meet Serena, the blacksmith’s daughter, and Desiree, a nurse serving in the H’ospital of St. John, in Jerusalem. In the present day, Ian is a Navy Seal, Jacques is a mercenary, Serena is a Mossad agent, and Desiree is an agent for the Center for Disease Control. The four heroes stop a terrorist attack on the United States, then shut down a laboratory developing deadly pathogens.

This is an amazing book. Full of historical details, but not boring! Fast paced, characters I really cared about, a good story that kept me turning the pages long into the night. Fans of Bernard Cornwell will enjoy this book.
I received a copy of this book from Netgalley. Thank you, Netgalley!

What an interesting idea for a story.
Ian, Jacques, Serena and Desiree are four young people who make a pact in 1099 to protect humankind from evil forces for a millennium. They originally meet by chance through their travels.
This is a good read. I liked the premise. It is a little slow going as the reader gets into the story, but the pace picks up from there. The writing is a little simplistic. But I so liked the idea of the novel, that I more or less overcame my frustration with the writing style. The novel was entertaining and the characters were well-developed. There was sufficient information given about the protagonists in the story to flesh them out, but not so much that it created a distraction. This is my first Patrick John Donahoe book and I went to Amazon to look for other books of his.
Saving the world is always a good premise for a yarn.
I want to thank NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for forwarding to me a copy of this book to read.
