I appreciate the publisher allowing me to read this book. A really good story with interesting ideas

Series book. What a great read. I could not put it down and so I read it over the day. It is very much in the spirit of the first book (Son of a Jacobite) and equally riveting. The characters are very clear and flawed at times but that is what makes them real. Thanks to T.J.Lovat for telling such a great story. He has done a marvellous job and I can see the next story is being pointed to at the end of the book with the two boys coming to Australia. There were some wonderful aspects of acceptance and humanity within the telling that were moving and deep. The grandson follows in similar footsteps.
