    Default Kingdom of the Wicked

    I'm currently reading this interesting book as a requirement for my English classes; I need to prepare an oral presentation on it and I want to do it as nice as possible to get the top mark.

    Can someone give me a detailed plot summary? I'm at about page 90 and continuing nicely, but I need some help as some parts are kind of confusing for me.

    Thanks.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    Thanks. It was pretty useful, but not too much in depth. Any other ideas?

    Yeah, put the pretentious piece of crap down and look for a proper book. I hate it when a writer just wants to flag his expertise, if I remember correctly he doesn't even take into consideration that it just might be possible that not everybody is fluent in latin. GAH.

    I wish I could do that. I started it, and now I have to continue it unfortunately. It's total crap as you say, I agree fully. But I have to read it.

    Can anyone help?

    Hmm, well, sometimes there's a good review at Amazon, but a brief glimpse didn't show anything impressive for this book:

    http://www.amazon.com/Kingdom-Wicked.../dp/0877957533

    Other than that all I turned up was a 4 paragraph review here:

    Face it, you may have to buy the Cliff Notes.

    Only thing worse than that, is when the author looks up things that no reader knows, to look like he knows much, while having plenty of errors/misunderstandings of the facts he put in there... I've read one or two books of that type, and those are 15 hours of my life that I want back!
