(Disclaimer--I'm a publisher of Catholic fiction, including the book I mention below. That said, I 
Aquinas and More and I think a lot of readers of this discussion forum will love this book.)
Here's one for summer reading: Crown of the World--Knight of the Temple by Nathan Sadasivan. Nathan is a homeschool grad who attends Ave Maria University. He started writing Crown of the World when he was 15. Frankly, when we received the manuscript, I had a hard time believing it was written by someone so young.
The first book of a trilogy, Knight of the Temple takes place in the Kingdom of Jerusalem during the reign of Amalric. It follows a fictional knight, Godfrey de Montferrat--a young man who is torn between his worldly desires and his calling. The book is loaded with battles, intrigue, history, and compelling characters--some historical, some fictional.
We loved it and I think folks on this board will as well. It's got a good bit in common with our previous release (and all time best seller), Angels in Iron by Nicholas Prata.
