![]() ![]() ![]() Would that he was better known.Ĭrusader King by Susan Peek caught my eye the first time I saw its cover. I want to learn more about this Crusader. If even half of what Peek tells about Baldwin in Crusader King is true, he was a living saint. Peek tells us what it was really like to live and die the horrifically slow torture of being consumed alive by leprosy, including losing sight, hearing and finally the ability to speak or eat. In the movie, Kingdom of Heaven, the leprous Baldwin is covered with a mask, gloves and long-sleeved clothing. Although his sister’s husband and his minor nephew were to follow him in succession, theirs were weak, brief and ineffective periods of rule. In Susan Peek’s book King Baldwin IV of Jerusalem was the last hereditary and crusading monarch of that city to actually reign over it before it was reclaimed by Saladin. Very different perspective from the distorted history usually portrayed about the Crusades and specifically by the movie, Kingdom of Heaven. Found this book as I was combing my shelves one night. ![]()

The Pillars of the Earth takes place in 12th Century England and is told from the perspective of several different viewpoints. I’m dying to know how the game branches away from the acclaimed book. Its epic, rich story that encompasses themes such as religion, politics, war, romance, and family sank its hooks into me. Daedelic Entertainment’s Ken Follett’s The Pillars of the Earth has me itching to travel to a bookshop and purchase a copy of the novel.

The film of course centers around the science vs. I for one praise the film, for its toughness and sensitivity, symbolism and passion, and the fact that it is a rare science fiction film, a gem which was released in a time where scientific intelligence in film has become a nothing short of a joke as the wonder of the universe has been ignored and the mystery of alien life have become a neverending trail of movie villains. Like the reaction from the civilians to the machine, a movie with this much heavy firepower is likely to get both loathing and praise from its viewers. I am not one bit surprised, due to the importance of the film, and I feel this is proof that Contact is one of the most powerful movies of the decade.
