This review is from: The Master of Gray Trilogy: Lord and Master the Courtesan Past Master (Paperback)
Absolutely brilliant.Most people will say that The Bruce Trilogy was Nigel's best but after reading the 1000+ pages of the Master of Gray trilogy,I'm having second thoughts.It's arguably the most gripping of all his novels. I don't think there's one decent major battle in it but the political intrigue is simply fascinating.Read it and look forward to countless hours of outstanding entertainment.You're in for a rare treat.

The master of Gray trilogy,
By michael oberhofer (Adelaide, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Master of Gray Trilogy: Lord and Master the Courtesan Past Master (Paperback)
Of all the nations on earth, tiny scotland has one of the most colorful histories,and noone brings that history to life quite like Nigel Tranter. The Master of Gray trilogy is Tranter at his best. His portrayal of the infamous Patrick Gray is superb. One is constantly torn between admiration & disgust of this clever and beguiling intriguer, once dubbed `the most handsome man in Europe'. Alongside this dashing figure sits the bumbling, slobbering figure of JamesI & VI of England & Scotland, a beautifully inept character with his broad scots accent and unsavory habits who nevertheless shows flashes of genius and keeps the reader guessing right to the end. The settings are spectacular and beautifully written, and the plot twists and turns like a serpent on a hotplate! If you have no interest in Scottish history this book will remedy that. Highly reccomended.
