Long before James Bond, England had a real-life spymaster in Sir Francis Walsingham. John Cooper compiled this thorough depiction of the man and his time. As an agent for Elizabeth, Sir Francis looked for Catholic uprisings at home and abroad. Dedicated to protect her at all costs, he became a master cryptographer and an expert at turning his enemies into double agents. This exciting, real-life story of intrigue is performed by James Adams with gusto and class. Adams' voice is similar in quality to Alan Rickman’s, giving the impression that he’d be as comfortable delivering oration on the Shakespearian stage of Elizabeth’s time as delivering this engaging audiobook about her most trusted and daring agent.
