In this first book in the legendary Lymond Chronicles, Francis Crawford of Lymond, traitor, murderer, nobleman, returns to Scotland to redeem his reputation and save his home.
It is 1547 and Scotland has been humiliated by an English invasion and is threatened by machinations elsewhere beyond its borders, but it is still free. Paradoxically, her freedom may depend on a man who stands accused of treason. He is Francis Crawford of Lymond, a scapegrace nobleman of crooked felicities and murderous talents, posessed of a scholar's erudition and a tongue as wicked as a rapier. In The Game of Kings, this extraordinary antihero returns to the country that has outlawed him to redeem his reputations even at the risk of his life.

      This is the first book of Dorothy Dunnett's vast, lively melodrama, The Lymond Chronicles. Set in sixteenth-century Scotland, where 4-year-old Mary Queen of Scots reigns in name only, it follows the adventures of a swashbuckling high born outlaw named Francis Crawford, known as Lymond. The book seems to include the entire population of the British Isles at the time, which could pose a problem for some listeners, but Samuel Gillies does a fine job with the English and Scottish accents, and fans of historical fiction should have a lovely time.
