Penguin presents the audio edition of Pawn in Frankincense by Dorothy Dunnett, read by David Monteath.
It is 1552 and the royal galley Dauphine, under the command of Francis Crawford of Lymond, sails the glittering but dangerous Mediterranean looking for a lost son.
Yet as the search grows more urgent, Lymond knows he is being drawn deeper into the intricate web of his enemy Gabriel, Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St John, who is already weaving a subtle tapestry of revenge.
It is a journey that will lead Lymond to Constantinople and the court of Suleiman the Magnificent where a terrible game will be played with deadly and incalculable consequences . . .

      Dorothy Dunnett's captivating series of historical novels about the worldwide adventures of a witty, devil-may-care seventeenth-century Scotsman named Francis Crawford was a success when published in the late 1960s. It has never been out of print because it's replete with ferocious excitement, sparkling repartee, and fearsome sword thrusts. Scotsman Andrew Napier has the right accent, but he does not have the articulate energy needed to carry off the lively action of this fourth book in the Lymond Chronicles. Neither is he much able to differentiate among the wealth of characters, who range from Scotsmen and women to all manner of citizens of the Ottoman Empire. A.C.S. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine
