Query: Book 2 - As captivating as Book 1

It is great to pick up a piece of fiction that was very close to what actually happened during that time.Cornwell takes history as it is written and develops characters that fit right in to the factual information.Trust me, this is much better than reading the actual history accounts of the period.I prefer audio books and this as well as the other two books in the series are available in cassette format.That said despite the lesser quality of the audio the readers are very good and will keep you wanting more.Buy all three and listen to them in order you will be glad you did.If you can't find at amazon try half.com they have a fairly good selection of the older material
