Booklist
Makes dry history into a real rip-roaring read.
A fantastic read.
In the same bare-knuckled school as Simon Scarrow, Steven Pressfield and Ben Kane.
Beautifully written in typical Falconer style with plenty of snap and sharpness, and wonderfully researched.
Sure to find its way onto the bookshelves of lovers of a thrilling tale.
Nothing short of brilliant!
Truly made this historical era come alive.
Poignant characterization, dazzling dialogue, and impeccable research.
A great read.
Falconer’s grasp of period and places is almost flawless… he’s my kind of writer.
Moves along at a cracking pace, the narrative fraught with action and tension at every turn.
Living history at its best.
A magisterial tale.
A helluva good read… skillfully brings to life a vibrant and exotic historical period.
