About this listen

Kidnap, murder, slander, and a legend unearthed...

1483: King Edward IV dies, leaving two innocent young princes in line to the throne. But when scandal and conspiracy explodes around their claim, Richard of Gloucester is proclaimed king.

Shortly after, the princes vanish, and storm clouds begin to gather around the newly crowned King Richard III. Fighter, philanderer, and royal spy Henry Morane is tasked with investigating the princes' disappearance, the attempted kidnap of the exiled Lancastrian leader Henry Tudor and the hunting out of traitors amid Richard's supporters. And at the bloody battle of Bosworth Field, King Richard and Henry Morane will face a fatal trial that will dictate the path of history.

With the mystery of C. J. Sansom and the epic adventure of Conn Iggulden and Bernard Cornwell, Robert Farrington's thrilling novel brings to life King Richard III as we now know him.

Different angle of Richard third’s rule and concentrates on others lives around him. A thriller with protagonist Henry Moran doing Richard’s bidding. Enjoyed this view and will read again.

Loved it!

Good story but narrator has a boring voice. Also there is a factual inaccuracy where he says Elizabeth Woodville was dark haired. She was renound for having long golden blond hair. Why change this fact?

Quite interesting

I liked this very much.
By not focusing on the battles, and more on politics and city life, the story seemed to me to bring the times alive very well.
I'll be coming back for more if there is any.

Different.Which is a good thing.

Really enjoyed this book. it has much more humour and life than the Iggulden versions of the same subject. it is also better performed.

Much better than better selling books
