Great narration. The prose can be flowery and a little prolix in places but overall it's a great listen.

A compelling tale of heroism, integrity and loyalty

This is the first historical genre novel I have listened to and the fact that Robert Powell was reading it was one reason for choosing it.I just love his dulcet tones and the way he portrays the characters. Now I have found out what I have been missing in Elizabeth Chadwicks stories. Superb reading and a great story.
Lovely relaxing way to wind down at the end of the day.

Can be read a bit like a news report at times, but the story itself is very well written and very interesting.

A great retell, but with so much to tell, it hurried along far too fast, unless you are already aware of the facts it would be difficult to reconstruct the line.
Narrator excellent.
