Arrows fly, swords clash, nobles and churchmen are gulled out of their coins, and the French and Venetians are successfully blamed for things they did not do. The Empire Has No Gold is a novella to introduce new readers to Martin Archer’s great action-packed saga about Cornwall’s Company of Archers, a free company of Englishmen who began operating armed transports and shipping posts at the dawn of Britain’s military supremacy and the beginning of its great merchant companies. It is an enjoyable and sometimes witty read that sticks pins into the Church and nobility along the way.
The on-going saga of Cornwall’s The Company of Archers is set in dangerous and gritty medieval England during a time of great upheaval throughout Britain—with dissident barons periodically rising against their kings, the Saracens lashing out against the Christians in the Holy Land for breaking the truce by starting another crusade, and the Moorish pirates from the city states of the Barbary Coast fighting with each other and everyone else for control of the Mediterranean.
This is British and English historical fiction at its action-packed best. It will appeal to readers who enjoy books such as George R. R. Martin’s The Game of Thrones, George MacDonald Fraser’s Flashman, and authors such as Bernard Cornwell, Dan Brown, Jeffrey Archer, C.S. Forester, Griff Hosker, Peter Darman, and Jerry Auteri. The author’s other much longer books in the saga can be found by searching Amazon, Google, Goodreads, or Bing for Martin Archer fiction.
