Call to Crusade The Recollections of Lord Godric MacEuan On the First Crusade Volume One Siege Master Book 1 edition by Tom Vetter Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews

I had the pleasure to read this before it was published and witnessed it growing from a good book to something spectacular. So often, historical accuracy is put aside for "the entertainment value". This book shows that stories can be both, entertaining AND historically accurate.

Godric is a man we can cheer for. He grows from a tormented kid to a thoughtful leader and one of the great inventors of his time. His companions are wonderful people, reminiscent of real life. I particularly liked that the author did not impose our perception of war onto his medieval characters. At the time of the first crusade, fighting was an everyday occurrence for most people. A war was nothing extraordinary.

This book is a great read for readers of all ages, although I thing it suits men better than women (with exceptions of course, look at me). Highly recommended!
I purchased this book after enjoying an introductory story from the author's website. While that novella was in third person, the Siege Master series is told in first person, as a memoir. I enjoyed the comfortable style, it never seemed stilted or stuffy even while imparting tremendous amounts of knowledge about people, places, and war machinations. Godric is a believable character and I enjoyed his growth from infant to married man, during hard times and good.

I did not like the footnote numbering. Knowing the present day names of towns and districts passed through on the journey to Jerusalem would be handy if you are going to follow along on a map, but so many numbers seemed out of place in the text, and I couldn't ignore the growing count.

The final 10% of the book, including the footnotes, reveals the author's extensive research. A timeline of historical events includes Godric. All show how well Tom Vetter skillfully blends fact and fiction.

I had a hard time finding a place to put down the story - the groundwork for the First Crusade is well and truly set. Historical fiction at its finest. Readers of Bernard Cornwell will enjoy the Siege Master series.
If you love Cornwell, you'll love Vetter. He spins tales like Edger Rice Burroughs.......... each page, every chapter, keeps you spell bound. I read it from cover to cover and can't wait for his next installment.
The first read is outstanding. The second read places you in the midst of old friends and enemies as the living Godric. Tom's next installment of the Siege Master's exploits will keep readers not wanting to put the book down on the way to Nicaea. Tom, may we have another?
I was glued to this book for two weeks. Great historical fiction that will draw you in to the events leading up to the first Crusade. I was greatly inspired spiritually and as a modern day warrior. I recommend this book to military, historians,and Christian lay persons who enjoy good fiction. Reminded me of "the robe" that I read in high school. My wife is glad to have my attention back.
Compelling read. Historical fiction about a time in history that most will find interesting and has not been saturated by previous books.
It's an opportunity to learn and be entertained at the same time.
Eleventh century Scotland and England was a raw edgy time to be alive and this book brings it to life.
Thomas Vetter did an awesome job with this book. As a medieval history junkie, I was impressed by the amount of research that must have went into preparing this book. Although siege warfare is mentioned in basically every book written about this time period, Vetter goes above and beyond anything I have ever read regarding the development and effectiveness of these war machines. I also found the interaction between Western European and Byzantine characters leading up the Crusades as very interesting. A must read!
I'm generally not a fan of historical fiction, but this book sucked me in and took me on an amazing ride. I loved it!
