About the Author
Rafael Sabatini was born to an English mother and Italian father, both well-known opera singers. At seventeen Sabatini moved to England, where, after a brief stint in the business world, he started to write. His major breakthrough came with Scaramouche, which became an international bestseller and was followed by the equally successful Captain Blood. All his earlier books were then rushed into reprint. Many of his novels were subsequently adapted into classic films which appealed to both a male and female market with their drama, romance and action, set against a variety of historical settings. 'One wonders if there is another storyteller so adroit at filling his pages with intrigue and counter-intrigue, with danger threaded with romance, with a background of lavish colour, of silks and velvets, of swords and jewels' - Daily Telegraph

This review is from: Scaramouche The King Maker (Paperback)
Although Sabatini tortures you regarding the relationship between Andre-Louis and Aline, the book is truly a political work of art. Andre-Louis gives up his sword fighting to become an undercover political assassin! It's an excellent sequel to Scaramouche!

Scaramouche the King Maker,

This review is from: Scaramouche the King Maker (Paperback)
Poor. Doesn't hold a candle to the original. Characters seem wooden and puposeless. Especially Aline. In the original she had personality and an edge. In this one she seems bland and banal.Bill Oakey
