Angels in Iron
by Nicholas C. Prata
Forty-two years later, history has repeated itself. The Hospitallers are again besieged by the teeming armies of the relentless Turk. Their tiny island-fortress of Malta is all that stands between the armies of Suleiman and the very heart of Christendom. But this time the scenario is different -- La Valette wears the Grand Master's cape. Behind him stand the knights of his faithful order: men of incredible valor ready to "strike a blow for Christ" and sacrifice their lives to halt the invading Turks at the gates of Europe. What follows is an desperate struggle between East and West, Cross and Koran, faith and despair.
Angels in Iron is based on the actual events
surrounding the Siege of Malta in 1565. Nicholas C. Prata relates the tale
in riveting and graphic prose which brings the extreme heroism of the
knights and the unimaginable horror of combat sharply into focus.
