The Disorderly Knights

The Lymond Chronicles Book Three

De: Dorothy Dunnett

Narrado por: David Monteath

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Disorderly Knights by Dorothy Dunnett, read by David Monteath.

Summer, 1551, and Francis Crawford of Lymond is in Malta to assist the Knights of St John defend the island from an invading Turkish fleet. But under a weak leader there is dissension in the ranks of the Knights - and the chances of repelling invasion look slim.

Here Lymond meets Knight Grand Cross Graham Reid Malett - known as Gabriel - a fellow Scot famed for his virtues. It is soon clear that Gabriel's wiles in war and intrigue rival Lymond's own as he attempts to bring his new comrade in arms into the bosom of his scheming.

And if Gabriel should fail then his sister, Joleta, whose seductive charms no man can resist is waiting to prevail.

Caught between warring factions and nations, between the wiles of Gabriel and the lascivious charms of Joleta, will Lymond prove strong enough to remain his own man?

Reseñas de la Crítica

Praise for Dorothy Dunnett

A storyteller who could teach Scheherazade a thing or two about pace, suspense and imaginative invention

Marvellous, breathtaking

A masterpiece of historical fiction

One of the greatest tale-spinners since Dumas

Lashings of excitement, colour and subtlety

Vivid, engaging, densely plotted - are almost certainly destined to be counted among the classics of popular fiction

Lymond Chronicles

The books in this series are superbly written and have stood the test of time; written in the 1960’s they are as engrossing today as they were the first time I read them.
But now they come to life with a great advantage, a wonderful narrator bringing the characters and settings to life.
Truly the best narration I’ve been privileged to listen to. Thank you.
