The Lion's Skin


Lu par Carol Pelster

(4.7 stars; 59 reviews)

Justin Caryll was an unwilling hero: an unwilling plotter of revenge, an unwilling spy and an unwilling pursuer of the woman he loves. Justin must thread a perilous path through various sticky wickets, between the machinations of his foster father, the violence of his brother, the relentless pursuit by the government's agent, his hopeless love for the hapless heroine, and the struggles of his own conscience. Fortunately, Justin is equipped with the skill and speed to lunge and parry, both verbally and with a sword, to make his way through 18th century London with plenty of aplomb, in the midst of Jacobite plots and financial finagling by the ultra rich.

Critiques

Bravo from Borneo


(4 stars)

Bravo Bravo. I really enjoyed this tale made all the better by the narrator's exellent reading. I shall now seek out books read by her. Rafael Sabatini is a true master of his craft and in this book he replaces his renowned daring-do storyline with a strong, convoluted plot line of intrigue and family betrayal set within the context of the early 1700s England and fear of a Jacobite uprising. Great insight.

REPARTEE MAGNIFICO

A splendid romp of words and deeds. As one other said, it would make a wonderful stage play. It is a marvelous beginning to Sabatini's future action novels. The reader was excellent. thank you!

Sedate Sabatini


(2.5 stars)

Instructive for aspiring writers to contrast this early work, which reads like a wordy stage play, with Sabatini’s mature masterpieces Scaramouche and Captain Blood. Still, thanks for sharing!
