IRVING, Texas - Dec. 10, 2015 - PRLog -- Argus Publishing acquires Robert Hirsch's epic historical fiction series starting with Promise of the Black Monks! www.robertehirsch.com Represented by Loiacono Literary Agency, Jeanie Loiacono

A child predestined to war is raised by Cluny monks and is immersed in politics, war and destruction.

Hirsch, who has experienced his own adversities concerning racial stigmas and Catholic doctrine, writes with distinct accuracy of the walled façade individuals construct to insulate themselves against others and the terrors of life no less formidable than those constructed by powerful and established institutions. Contrition, his first novel (JournalStone, 2012) explores the dark underside of the conscience; that infected and decaying region of our past existence that draws each of us back to the pillories of punishment time and time again.

Hirsch received his undergraduate degree from Cameron University and began teaching history and French, then earned his Master’s Degree at the University of Southern Mississippi and Doctoral Degree from Nova Southeastern University of Miami/Ft. Lauderdale,

Robert Hirsch is a long-time resident of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Promise of the Black Monks (2016), and its sequels, Hammer of God (2016), Horde of Fools (2017), God’s Scarlet Fury (2017) and the final is yet to be announced, have been acquired and are being published by Argus Publishing.

Promise of the Black Monks - Published by Argus Publishing (release 2016)

When Tristan Saint-Germain and his brother, Guillaume are sent to live with the Black Monks in Cluny, they had no idea their fates...nor that those whom they are destined to encounter would change the history of the world.

Hammer of God - Published by Argus Publishing (release 2016)

The sequel, Hammer of God, takes you on Tristan’s journey from the time he becomes a Black Monk of Cluny and a spy for the Pope, to the dawning of the crusades in 1097; an epic tale that leaves you wanting more. Vows were taken, loyalties were chosen and now he must use all his gifts to protect the Pope and serve God. To what lengths, in what ways?

“Ah,” cried the Hermit, “I told that boy he was dangerous, that he would plant the seeds of war!”  “Yee-hee-hee!” cackled Duxia in reply, “and I told him he was cursed at birth… and even asked him what it is he wanted, and how many would die as he strived to seek it!”

Horde of Fools - Published by Argus Publishing (release 2017)

The third in the series, A Horde of Fools, gets Tristan tangled up in Peter the Hermit's Peasant's Crusade where over 50,000 peasants marched from France to Byzantium to fight the Turks and recover the Holy Land from the Muslims. Flanked by the Danes and his brother, Guillaume, and watched over by an earthly angel and the love of his life, Mala, he is determined to do what God and the Vatican ordained him for -- to save the innocent from certain annihilation on their march to Jerusalem.

God's Scarlet Fury  - Published by Argus Publishing (release 2017)

This is the fourth novel in the continuing saga of Tristan, Mala, Guillaume and the Danes which covers the outbreak of the First Holy Crusade in the wake of the fiasco of Peter the Hermit's Peasant's Crusade.
