5.0 out of 5 stars
An amazing piece of historical fiction!,
By
This review is from: The Darkness and the Dawn (Hardcover)
Costain has a real talent for putting a little bit of everything into his books... The Darkness and the Dawn is a prime example of this. It has daring escapes, battles, romance, horse races, and a court scene. This book also has a tyrant, an emperor, a princess, and a royal family. It's a book that should be counted among the classics...even though the author is far above them.
I encourage you to give this, and other Costain books a try. I think you'll be very surprised.

This review is from: The Darkness and the Dawn (Hardcover)
I first read this book in the early 1970s and it has been a favorite of mine for many years. Thomas B. Costain writes moving prose that is interesting, riveting and brings his subjects to life.

By yoav merom (israel) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Darkness and the Dawn (Hardcover)
the magic of this book does not depend on the plot but on the crisp dialogue , the tense succession of episodes , the kaleidoscopic change of scenes ! costain at his best - setting his scene with high competence and keeps his plot at the bubbling point to the end...
