The Religion

I read this morning where the Island Nation of Malta is offering extensive tax breaks for studios in hopes of attracting more film makers to the island. Its a small isle in the middle of the Mediterranean with Libya and Italy as neighbors. Its a beautiful isle with a rich history that wanders through World War 2 all the way back to the Wars of Religion and the Siege of Malta.

Which reminded me of this fantastic piece of historical fiction. The Religion by Tim Willocks. If you haven't read it, read it. It is truly a whopping tale of adventure, battle, and history. Willocks takes some liberty with the history of the siege, but not much, as much of what the main character goes through happened in those distant days.

Its a great read and graphic reminder of what men did in the days of yore.
