Synopsis
"Lightning paced" PUBLISHING NEWS "Falling somewhere between the novels of Bernard Cornwell and Wilbur Smith...a rollicking good yarn" John Daly, IRISH EXAMINER On a spring day at the Tower of London scaffold a last request is granted... It is 1536 and the expert swordsman Jean Rombaud has been brought over from France by Henry VIII to behead Anne Boleyn. But on the eve of her execution Rombaud swears a vow to the ill-fated queen. He promises to bury her six-fingered hand, symbol of her rumoured witchery, at a sacred crossroads. From a battle between slave galleys, through the hallucinations of St Anthony's Fire to the fortress of an apocalyptic Messiah, Jean seeks to honour his vow. THE FRENCH EXECUTIONER is a story of courage, the pursuit of power, and loyalty beyond reason.

From AudioFile
The pursuit of Anne Boleyn's severed, six-fingered hand, a talisman with magic power, spurs the action in this historical romance, set in the days of Henry VIII. The various warriors, corrupt church fathers, Vikings, alchemists, comic sidekicks, and sullied noblemen vie for the prize between carefully orchestrated orgies, sea battles, enslavements, brawls, hangings, chases, and liaisons. An actor as well as writer, the author reads well enough, though for this reviewer's taste his repetitious cadences are annoying.
