Summary
Introducing Jonas Flynt. Gambler. Thief. Killer. Man of honor.
1715. Jonas Flynt, ex-soldier and reluctant member of the Company of Rogues, a shady intelligence group run by ruthless spymaster Nathaniel Charters, is ordered to recover a missing document. Its contents could prove devastating in the wrong hands. On her deathbed, the late Queen Anne may have promised the nation to her half-brother James, the Old Pretender, rather than the new king, George I. But the will has been lost. It may decide the fate of the nation. The crown must recover it at all costs. The trail takes Jonas from the dark and dangerous streets of London to an Edinburgh in chaos. He soon realizes there are others on the hunt, and becomes embroiled in a long overdue family reunion, a jail break and a brutal street riot. When secrets finally come to light, about the crown and about his own past, Jonas will learn that some truths, once discovered, can never be untold…

Fascinating!
Really enjoyed this book. I loved the way it was written and David Monteath is one of my favourite Narrators which is always a plus for me when the storyline has even one Scottish person featured. He doesn't make all Scots sound the same, ie like Mel Gibson in Braveheart! The story was interesting and I found myself picturing Edinburgh, in particular, as it was in those days. I also liked Jonas and liking the main character is essential for me if I am to listen/read to the end. Am looking forward to the rest of the series.

Jacobites in their cups!
A good storyline, well written and equally well narrated. The Jacobites never had much luck and this story cleverly weaves into the background the pre-emptive actions that led to 1715 rising. Enough intrigue to keep you guessing, enough history to make you want to read more.

Interesting start
Not a period I’m familiar with and so I enjoyed the historical background. Good solid plot and characters. Look forward to more.

Early promise but too tedious to finish
I was disappointed in this story. It began slowly and became so tiresome that I gave up on it. Just one description after another of fights. David Monteath is an excellent narrator but he deserves better material

Not for me.
I have up after chapter four. Whilst there was no problem with the narration I could not get on with the style of writing. Sorry.
