I thought this sounded quite exciting, set in the beginnings of Jamestown, fighting the local tribes for survival, spies from Spain, Robert Cecil scheming in England. However i was a little disappointed with it, it was quite a short book and I believe now that it is a sequel of sorts as it refers to previous actions from the main characters quite a few times, so feels like missing key information to enjoy the plot more.
It was well researched and gave a good feel for the setting, but the characters just felt like they were dealt with too briefly, and even the action seemed quite short like it was just bullet pointing historic facts. Even the ending was a little disappointing, after such a buildup the final showdown between the rival protaganists felt very flat indeed.
