Bad fanfiction
This reads like peculiarly bad fanfiction of Ray Winstone's Henry VIII
I can live with the swearing, even though it goes against the historical record. But Reilly doesn't appear to have stopped and thought about how England worked in 1545

This was a really good mystery.
Although a bit grizzly towards the end, I found that I did enjoy this mystery from Matthew Reilly.
Matthew has taken Princess Elizabeth (I) real tutor and woven a tale of mystery that is very good, with for me anyway the likable character of Roger Ascham.
This was a really good mystery with a good set of characters and well plotted and written.
I know Matthew has written The Tournament as the next full length mystery, but I would love to see more Roger Ascham novels and short stories in the future.

Not his best.
Any additional comments?
I normally love Matthew's book and own all of them as audio books, I enjoy them that much.
So was very disappointed with this one. I know it was a short story and just introducing you to a New set of characters/ type of story, but it seemed to lack Matthew's gun ho action. Yes I know it was set in olden times with things like dungeons and the rack etc but he has written plots set in the past a lot better (see Temple). I guess it didn't help that it was so short and I didn't warm up to the main character.
