A really good and well written book about a possible Prince who is not a Tudor! I had never given Perkin Warbeck much thought, though as my main interest has always been the Plantagenets I should have done. The mix of known facts and assumptions and deductions made it a fascinating read, once started I could barely put it down. A little knowledge of the times and the events which happened when the last Plantagenet and truly English king was killed will help the reader to get more from the book, but even without any such knowledge the book tells a fine story and is well worth reading.

This is a sequel to the same author's 'The Master of Bruges'. He has taken a minor character from that novel and made him the protagonist of this one. The author has seamlessly woven historical fact with fictitious events in an entertaining read that transports us from the courts of England and Scotland, France and Burgundy, to the bogs of Ireland, the jungles of Africa and the forests of pre-Columbian America in a series of exciting adventures. The author has applied to history what he calls in his afterword 'various Rumsfeldian factors...the combination of known knowns with unknown unknowns'. All of the events of his book COULD have happened, although they are by no means likely, and there are some terrific twists.
It's an extremely entertaining book, a real page turner, with credible characters, a number of really good jokes and even a possible solution to the mystery of the Welsh-speaking Indian tribe that Lewis and Clark were told to look out for!
Very, very highly recommended.
DISCLAIMER: The above is not an actual review. Someone asked me what sort of review I would ideally like to see, and my response found its way in error onto Amazon. Apparently I cannot have it removed, although I have been allowed to append this explanation. My apologies to anyone who may have been misled. On the other hand, I think what it says is pretty accurate! Terence Morgan.
