A tale of a young impoverished nobleman, who with The Black Cross uncle returns from a war against the order of the Teutonic Knights in Lithuania. He falls in love with a beautiful woman and pledges an oath to bring her "three trophies" from the Teutonic Knights. Written by Anonymous. I have seen this movie many years ago. This movie to my knowledge is one of the best Knights movies that ever been made. The plot is fantastic and the ending is a very sad one. This movie shows to what extreme some people would go to avenge even if they are The Black Cross the wrong. A great movie and not enough acclaimed to my satisfaction. Looking for something to watch?

Greg Iles wartime thriller, "Black Cross" is set in a fictionalised Nazi concentration camp in the heart of the Third Reich run by an SS doctor whose experiments bear a close resemblance to those of the infamous Josef The Black Cross. The camp harbours a weapon so lethal it could wipe out an entire invasion force. It is Januarythe D-Day landings on the Normandy coast just five months away and a plan has been hatched, with the knowledge and consent of the British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, Greg Iles wartime thriller, "Black The Black Cross is set in a fictionalised Nazi concentration camp in the heart of the Third Reich run by an SS doctor whose experiments bear a close resemblance to those of the infamous Josef Mengele. It is Januarythe D-Day landings on The Black Cross Normandy coast just five months away and a plan has been hatched, with the knowledge and consent of the British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, to commit an act of unimaginable horror in the name of peace. Those charged with carrying out the plan under the direction of the British SOE — Special Operations Executive — are an American doctor, a German nurse, a Zionist killer and a young Jewish widow, the most unlikely group ever assembled to carry out a wartime operation. The odds of success are impossible, but their grit and determination to succeed, despite the terrible consequences if they do, just might give the world hope for victory against the Nazis. Despite the length of "Black Cross" — some pages — it somehow manages to be a page-turner all the way. Some characters are real — Winston Churchill is one example The Black Cross some are not but they are all interesting, even the Nazis and Greg Iles makes it easy to decide who you should root for. The subject matter is, of course, not for the faint hearted and The Black Cross at times the author pushes the boundaries of The Black Cross, he makes the story seem at least possible, especially given the period in which it is set. One needs to understand that this is historical fiction, not historical fact. Although an American, the author has skilfully described British scenes realistically and the dialogue The Black Cross the English and Scottish characters is remarkably accurate. View 1 The Black Cross. Oct 04, Richard rated it it was amazing Shelves: historical-fiction. From the first few pages I could tell this was going to be good but I wasn't expecting to be hooked quite so much. The nuts and bolts of the story isn't wildly different to many novels I've read before; a couple The Black Cross misfits are required to pull off an The Black Cross task The Black Cross they're not wholly equipped to deal with. The difference here was there were large portions of this book were set inside a fictitious concentration camp in Germany which gave a perspective from those trapped, those who run it and those who test on subjects and the people caught in a rock and a hard place assisting the testers. It's pretty grim reading at times but you see the word concentration camp you don't The Black Cross rainbows and unicorns. It's weaved with the action side enough to never truly depress you and hate humankind. The blend of action, historical plotting, emotional scenes which probably pale in comparison to some which actually took place in real life made this a real roller coaster of emotions and such that I couldn't put it down. My only criticism would be the ending didn't feel totally satisfying and a little rushed but it didn't detract from what went before and there were external factors which slowed my reading right at the end. This is well worth a read and will appeal to many different people and tastes and I think I may have found a gem in this author. I'll be starting some more of his soon enough. View all 7 comments. Nov 11, Jonathan K rated it liked it. Having read nearly all books written by this author this story was unique The Black Cross to the time period and plot. Just about every book Greg has written takes place in contemporary Mississippi with interesting characters, tons of plot twists and rapid fire momentum. And while well The Black Cross and paced it pales in comparison to his other stories.
