  The Archers is an exciting action-packed adventure saga set in medieval England during the days of the Templar knights and the crusades. It is the tale of an Englishman who rose to become the captain of a company of archers and lead its survivors back to feudal England from King Richard's crusade—and forever change medieval and modern England and Britain. 
  Many of the archers do not return as a result of disease and intense fighting, but some of the former serfs and free men do return—as battle hardened veterans determined to improve their lot in cruel and brutal feudal England. This exciting war novel combines action-packed historical fiction with a family saga during a time of almost continuous war and conflict. 
  The Archer's Return is the third novel in this great saga. William leaves his son George and his brother Thomas in England and returns to the ports of the Holy Land with his company's ranks and galleys filled with newly recruited archers armed with long bows and bladed pikes—to earn coins for his family and men by helping refugees escape from the victorious Saracens and carrying pilgrims and merchants between the crusader ports in the face of the Moorish pirates who dominate the Mediterranean Sea and the Barbary Coast.
