I have never heard of the Siege of Malta. I will be looking forward to seeing the series.

Get a used copy of “Angels in Iron” (or Ernle Bradford’s history of the siege) online. It’s a novelized, but very accurate, account of how the Knights of St. John the Hospitaller saved the West from Mohammedanism, just as the fleet of Don Juan of Austria did 8 years later at Lepanto. Unlike today’s faggotty, useless Christians, the Knights of St. John were MEN.

When I first read the books, I thought the story would make a fantastic movie...except for the fact that the movie industry is controlled by gutless pukes. It will be interesting to see if Gibson’s movie can get distribution and honest reviews.

“Angels in Iron” is a fantastic book on this. A novel. I bought screenwrights and held them for 10 years, til I couldn’t afford them any more. Let them lapse 2 years ago. I have a great script, and had hoped to make a feature film, a la “Magnificent Seven in Iron.”

Do yourself a favor and check out Angels in Iron. If you like epic historical novels, it will be among the best $15 you ever spent.
