Just remarkable

Niccolo Machiavelli is a fascinating figure from history, his words during the renaissance, especially The Prince are just remarkable, when I know that this story revolves around a mysterious note written five hundred years before by Niccolo Machiavelli, I knew I just had to listen to this one till the end. The character of Jack is strong and likeable while Kat is a strong female. As the story progresses it gets more engaging and interesting, the author Taylor Buck knows how to write a historical fiction with a blend of mystery.

Interesting listen

Even though most of the historical fiction are uninteresting but this grabbed my attention right from the start and in most way it surprised me, as this one is full of suspense, I have been a fan of Assassins creed game and through that game I came to know more about Niccolo Machiavelli, so after many years it was awesome to listen this audio book as it blends Niccolo Machiavelli work with modern day. The blend is done nicely by the author to give out a book that will be liked not only by the fans of historical fiction but also by anyone who likes to listen to a good thriller.

Listened to it several times!

There is so much going on with this story that I have listened to it several times, and every time I listen to it, it amazes me even more, Taylor Buck as well as the narrator Murdoch Pennington both are good at their art, will try to listen more books from them.
