"Stephen has a feel for the momentory decisions that can help to shape the course of history - as well, of course, as the cowardice, vainglory and greed." ( The Times)

I loved it!
This is the most enjoyable book I have read in a long time. The History is quite a big part of this, and if you know the History it will add to your enjoyment, but it is a great action fillled listen without that. A brilliant naration as well!

Tudor history brought to life.
Martin Stephen brings his academic knowledge of the late Tudor and early Stuart period to life with his stories of intrigue and derring do featuring Henry Gresham. This episode covers the late Elizabethan era and the tensions between Spain and England leading to the attempted invasion with the aid of the mighty Spanish Armada. Henry Gresham, as an agent of an aging Walsingham, or is he an double, or triple agent, is tasked with gaining the confidence of the Spanish court. A real swashbuckling adventure well read and characterised by Michael Tudor Barnes.

Excellent listen
One of the most memorable introductions. The words of Martin Stephen as read by Michael Tudor Barnes immediately pull you into the story. What happens next ?
