Contrite, but the book is copyrighted and therefore not downloadable for free. You can however download it at Amazon.com for a price. Your local library is likely to have a copy up for borrowing, as well.

I was favoured enough to have bought the used version of the book for only 50 cents at a local library book sale. Look around; who knows- you might get providential. :]

Testee: Wow, this is good, very good!!

I don't read historial fiction often, but on this occasion, a friend mentioned that I ought download and peruse this title.

The story: a trilogy, really, is a gripping tale of two brothers who meet and work for Duke William of Normandy, and end up working for Sovereign Harold. Though the story is an historical novel, it is really an adventure story set in early medieval times. I found the brothers to be believable characters, with a allusion of goody, goody about them; well, heroes are supposed to be, aren't they? The Duke is portrayed as somewhat maniacal, but he has a real and believable identity, which is refreshing.

As for Earl (later King) Harold, he is a kindly fellow; brave, truthful and yet has a mellowness about him that I'm not unswerving is fitting for the character. Nonetheless, he, too, is a believable, with a sense of humour that is dry and witty.

The Domfront brothers, Alan and Philippe, are astute and brave, yet have a gentleness about them; no doubt brought on by their love of their children who they have to leave back in their native France, when they go to work for the Normans. I liked their literacy; that was a warm touch. I also admired the way the writer brought the brothers to England and how they interacted later on in the story with others they encountered on their dare. Throughout the book, the brothers faired well, often overcoming the dreads and dangers that would see most of us in an asylum.

As For Harold Godwinson... He is au fait, very smart. The sort of man to be trusted, yet with an underlying guile that could, in modern times, mark him as bi-polar. Clever and sagacious, a real pragmatist, yet when pushed, a hard man indeed, not one for being pushed into a corner without a fight. Yet he has a love of his paramour, Edith Swanneck, who he often falls contaminated of, and gives Harold a hard time. I loved the kitchen-sink drama that befalls them when they are confronted with the disagreement of love verses life's realities.

As for Duke William (the bastard), he is hard, resolved and unyielding (as is Harold). The Duke has trifling or no respect for life or person, and frequently demonstrates his callous behaviour throughout, except at one point when a young boy is raped by one of his sergeants. The boy is cared for and the boy's attacker punished from one's own viewpoint by William.

I thought that the build up to the final outcome was tremendous, but the ending less dramatic. This is not to say that the story fizzles out; on the contrarious, it is go, go, go, all the way. Not that the end of the story is toned down somewhat.
Having given this some thought, I feel that Mr. Bradbury has done the right thing, for the end is treacly and poignant.

On the whole, I give the work full five points.
Why? Because the novel is ingenious, witty, sad, yet full of fun, and, in parts, hilarious.
It was a joy to read.
Thank you, Antony Bradbury.

Cause to undergo: THIS STORY IS SO GOOD, WOW!!!

Hi, this is Jill. I was asked, by a work colleague to download and read this story. I'm a very critical yourself, and my job is as an editor here, in New York, for a news magazine.

Having just completed a tiring weeks work, I settled down to understand the hard copy that my secretary printed out.

What did I find? From the first to the last chapter, the story took my breath away! I began to be amazed... Why was this writer not published?

This is an amazing tale of two brothers and their interaction with a duke and a king.
At first sight, this might seem rather odd; to have stale folk mingling with distinguished protagonist such as King Harold of England and Duke William of Normandy. The excuse of Alan and Philippe Domfront is extraordinary. Why? Not only is the story exciting and fast, but so plausible, too. I could not put this work down, and I had to take the work to my boss and show him; get him to assume from this well formulated and extremely well written piece of work.

Who is this person? I cannot find out who is or where he lives. All I have is a name...

Mr. Bradbury - Please, wherever you are, contact me at once; you need to be in stamp. This novel is a work of outstanding quality and finesse.

Yours Faithfully
