Cheesy 80s action flick turned into a book
- By shopper27 on 27-02-2017
Publisher's Summary
The year is 1546.
Europe lives in fear of the powerful Islamic empire to the East. Under its charismatic Sultan, Suleiman the Magnificent, it is an empire on the rise. It has defeated Christian fleets. It has conquered Christian cities.
Then the Sultan sends out an invitation to every king in Europe: send forth your champion to compete in a tournament unlike any other.
We follow the English delegation, selected by King Henry VIII himself, to the glittering city of Constantinople, where the most amazing tournament ever staged will take place.
But when the stakes are this high, not everyone plays fair, and for our team of plucky English heroes, winning may not be the primary goal. As a series of barbaric murders take place, a more immediate goal might simply be staying alive …

Different from previous MR books
The slow start had me worried but it is a different type of who-done-it story that grows.
Enjoyed the historical parts and the twists and turns in the plot.
Definitely a good ‘read’ - just be patient as it is NOT an action story like Scarecrow or Jack West Jnr stories - good in a different way!

Excellent and engrossing story
Really enjoyed this story from start to finish. It’s style, content and construction were first class. Lucy Gaskell should be given great credit in the way she delivered the various characters. Mathew Reilly excelled himself in offering a different style of writing from the Jack West Jnr series. A very worthwhile and pleasurable read.

Never thought I'd have an intrest in chess.
While innocently starting with the assumption that you will be attending a world class chess tournament (in which you do) you quickly find yourself in a world of deciet, sex, murder, lust and the darkest parts of religious manipulation around. Horrible dark secrets lurk around every corner and no one can be trusted.... theres also a few games of chess in there somewhere.

Another Brilliant book
Matthew Reilly has done it again with this thrilling book that keeps you guessing all the way to the end. I am a huge fan of his work and this story did not disappoint me, a step away from the action of Scarecrow or Jack West Jr but no less thrilling. Loved it!

Not action packed but awesome none the less !
I've listened to quite a few of Matthew Reilly's books and was ready for another action packed adventure !
I was a little disappointed to start with because this was certainly different to what I was used to. Quickly got over it though and thoroughly enjoyed it 🙂

Hard finding time to do my job while listening
MAYBE not the best suited book for all ages, this tale has more than a few raunchy moments and dark dark settings all round, BUT It does have a wonderful look on the era in point and historical figures and locations that might intrigue the curious about famous people that lived back then. The story has moments that seem lacking but instantly bring you back because of the characters and devious later plot line. All in all it was another great Matthew Reilly read
