I normally do not read novels, but this one was one powerful book. Patrick Kane does a superb job grabbing the readers attention and keeping it. The story is about a famous Scottish patriot by the name of "The Black Douglas." I have read other books about this individual, but was greatly impressed with this volume. Very moving, and seems to be very accurrate as well. The Scottish Wars of Independance was a very violent era in Scotlands history. Patrick Kane has the ability to bring characters alive in this epic novel, such as heros like Robert the Bruce, and the men who fought with him. There is much excitement and intensity in this story, it is not watered down. Patrick is sensitive to his readers as well, as he does not have a lot of material in it that would not make it suitable for those who do not want any content that would violate ones conscience. He has a way of keeping it really exciting without all the sensuality that many novels tend to lean to. I appreciate this book. I learned alot as well. Very inspiring. If you are looking for a book that has much history and a great story to make it click, this is the book for you. Blending history with great writing makes everything easier to understand.
I think anyone who wants a story or history about "The Black Douglas"this is the book to get.
