Turney's Ottoman Cycle is so addictive. It's well known that Turney can create a three dimensional character and this story, the second in the brilliant Ottoman Cycle, is no different. Equally, the pace is thrilling and one barely has time to breathe. Turney's settings are beautifully rendered and perfectly redolent of the Middle Sea. His ability to take history and turn it over to his reader so that entertainment and fact are equally respected is subtle. i recommend this book to anyone who enjoys historical fiction, but especially anyone who has a fascination with the Ottoman era.
