[Rebecca · Rating 4 out of 5]

John, the hero from The Escape, is the secretary of one of the most influential merchants in Amsterdam. He is on a mission in France for the Dutch government, and a personal quest to find his father. His father was sent to the galleys upon his refusal to convert back to Catholicism, and no one has heard from him since. John encounters much danger, including being recognized by his uncle, the priest that sent his father to the galleys. He meets several figures of whom we have historical accounts, and, of course, like a true storybook hero, is successful in his missions. This book is definitely a worthwhile read. The only problem/disappointment I had with it, is that it is obvious from the writing style that it is not an old book. There is nothing wrong with the language, it is just more contemporary than that of most of the other books in the Huguenot Inheritance series.

I have never read any books by this author and I must say I might get into his books! It was a really intresting and fun book! Favorite part was the middle of the book. Only thing I did'nt like was how it ended.
