Reviews

I've just been reading the Robert Carey books, and they're my most recent rave. The style, background, and stories are marvelous -- and I'm madly in love with Sergeant Dodd.
-- Diana Gabaldon

After a skirmish on the Scottish border, Sir Robert Carey, Deputy Warden of the English West March in 1592, finds one of his men maimed by an exploding pistol. Carey discovers more faulty weapons back at Carlisle Castle, but these are soon stolen, necessitating a dangerous goodwill trip to the riotous camp of the predatory Scottish King James. Feuding clans, political unrest, rowdy humor and exploits, unwise love affairs, and the plight of the poor all play a part in this skillful re-creation of a period rich in action and opportunity. A fine addition to the series (e.g., A Season for Knives, Walker, 1996).
