George Martin Stephen is High Master of St Paul's School,London, and ex-High Master of The Manchester Grammar School. He is the author of 16 academic titles on English literature, modern naval history and war poetry, as well as the highly-acclaimed Henry Gresham historical crime novels, set in the London and Cambridge of Elizabeth I and James I.
An enjoyable novel, but you need to understand what you're getting to truly enjoy it.
This type of fiction reminds me more of a Lee Child action thriller, or a James Bond movie. No matter what scenario or danger is thrown at our hero Henry Gresham, he always seems to be one step ahead.
While this is the final book written by the author, if I was giving anyone advice I would recommend they start at book 3 which is actually set first chronologically. Having read the first two books, set after this one, this are spoiled a little and takes away some of the drama and excitement.
i fell in love with these books was able to read them all except one these books are so interesting as it is about the history of england in fiction format as far as henry gresham is concerned the whole collection that i read were enticinig and as the reader wanting more really enjoyed this collection
