Media Reviews
I want to start this review by saying that this book is probably the best I've read this year. The action is second to none and the violence is on par with what you expect from this era of history. Overall I loved this book and I will be buying all the preceding novels at the earliest opportunity * Two Bald Mages *
Treason is a compelling read and extremely difficult to put down * For Winter Nights blog *
Immaculately researched and teeming with suspense, malice and menace, this is an impressive portrait of the suspicion and intrigue that stalked the early years of James I's reign as well as a thrilling adventure story that will keep readers on their toes from first page to last * Lancashire Evening Post *
I enjoyed reading about this period in English history (...) I have never read a book specifically on James I, but aim to in the new year (...) The storyline is a plus (...) and the character Christian Hardy is a plus * Impressions in Ink blog *
