Beschreibung
Penniless and a disappointment to his father, Anthony is flung into the Eighty Year's War, spying for the queen who exiled him, against the queen who knighted him.

This book would equally make an excellent action comic book or television serial! Sir Anthony Standen inhabits his world like some inverted, world-weary, and cynical 'Candide'. In the words of Shakespeare ''bestriding the narrow world like a Colossus.'' - The Historical Fiction Company.

An incredibly detailed and well-thought out book, the research into the historical events and characters throughout pays dividends as the reader is immersed in a fully fleshed out and authentic setting. Aside from the settings, it is clear that a great deal of research has gone into all aspects of this book including the languages that Anthony learns and the mathematics required for the ciphers. I enjoyed the plot, it has plenty of action and twists and turns as Anthony experiences both successes and hardships. A solid historical fiction, with plenty of intrigue I think that any fans of historical fiction would find this book entertaining. It's been enjoyable getting to know all of the characters and the book sets up nicely for the instalment of the series, 'Fire and Earth'. - LoveReading
