Review: Exciting history made dramatic and riveting by modern, crackling dialogue, and characters who leap out from the page with eloquent,sensual, emotional power.Laced with an immediacy of wit and romance, this is truly a stylish, soul-stirring story vividly bringing to life a moving, and richly passionate moment in history. Loaded with surprises in virtually every chapter, this colorful adventure actually moves, whisking the reader along on an extraordinary journey, brilliantly economic and gracefully executed.One can easily visualize this as a film, much like a combination "The Lion In Winter" and "Shakespeare In Love". The final resolution is shattering in its power and poignancy.

Summary: Exciting Suspense History
Review: This is history made exciting because it is told in a modern, fast-moving manner. The colorful story combines dramatic suspense with romantic adventure. Characters are human and wholly believable. I read it in one sitting, mainly because once begun it defies anyone to put it down. Yes, it WOULD make a thoroughly engrossing film.
