À propos de cet audio

 The complete collection of Tom Swan and the Head of St George - containing parts one through six - chronicling the adventures of a young Englishman across medieval France.

1450s France. A young Englishman, Tom Swan, is kneeling in the dirt, waiting to be killed by the French who have taken him captive.

He's not a professional soldier. He's really a merchant and a scholar looking for remnants of Ancient Greece and Rome - temples, graves, pottery, fabulous animals, unicorn horns. But he also has a real talent for ending up in the midst of violence when he didn't mean to. Having used his wits to escape execution, he begins a series of adventures that take him to street duels in Italy, meetings with remarkable men - from Leonardo Da Vinci to Vlad Dracula - and from the intrigues of the War of the Roses to the fall of Constantinople.©2012 Christian Cameron (P)2021 Orion Publishing Group Fiction Historique Moyen Âge Italie Guerre Croisade

Tom Swan is a great novella series that I'm very happy to revisit in audio. I have a deep fondness in my heart for the scapegrace Tom Swan. The author does a wonderful job at making the cities of the past feel alive and filled with the detail of how the world worked.
An easy series to binge through!

Renaissance era spy thriller!

I loved it, Tom Swan has it all. Action, daring-do, daggers in the dark and forbidden love affairs.

Born the Bastard son of a bastard son young Tom Swan is rescued from certain death by a down on his luck Cardinal who drafts the quick witted boy-rogue into a life of holy thievery.

Coming to manhood against the backdrop of the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks Tom survives trial and tribulation to swipe priceless Christian relics, kiss beautiful women and skirt the edge of reckless abandon with his many many feuds.

7/10

PROS:

Quick paced action adventure

Treasure!

The author is a real lover of history and his knowledge of the time period practically drips from the pages.

CONS:

Some characters fall a little flat or feel 2 dimensional

Every beautiful woman Tom meets inevitably cannot resist his wit and charm. It's charming at first but starts to wear a little thin.

An excellent swashbuckling, cloak and dagger romp!
