Although I’ve read everything Terry Tyler has published and loved every single book, I was a little bit unsure about this one. I thought the idea was tremendous but that it would be next to impossible to pull off. After all, by the late 20th century only third world dictators wielded the kind of power Henry VIII possessed over his subjects. I also thought I might know a bit too much about it because I specialised in the reign of Henry VIII for my graduate degree.I should have known that if anyone could pull it off, Terry Tyler could. She chose perhaps the only scenario that could have worked, placing Harry at the head of a major company with the power of hiring and firing his employees.  Of course, there had to be a few changes. He could not, for instance, subject two of his wives to judicial murder. But I think she did a tremendous job of making the story believable, and I can assure you that she got all the facts correct and in the right order.Besides that, and most importantly, it is a tremendous read, written with Terry Tyler’s inimitable style.I look forward very much to the sequel.
