Game of Kings,
by Dorothy Dunnett
First in the "Lymond Chronicles" series of historic novels, this page-turner
follows the adventures of Scottish nobleman Francis Crawford in the era of Mary
Tudor and Mary Queen of Scots. Like a cross between James Bond and Walter
Scott, with a lot of cultural history thrown in, the book will draw you on
through the adventures, intrigues, joys and sorrows of Crawford and his
compatriots during a tempestuous period. Crawford himself, brilliant and
mercurial, is a wonderful creation.
