Description

<p><span><span>Shakespeare's Witches tell Banquo, &quot;Thou Shalt 'Get Kings Though Thou Be None&quot;. Though Banquo is murdered, his son Fleance gets away. What happened to Fleance? What Kings? As Shakespeare's audience apparently knew, Banquo was the ancestor of the royal Stewart line. But the road to kingship had a most inauspicious beginning, and we follow Fleance into exile and death, bestowing the Witches' prophecy on his illegitimate son Walter. Born in Wales and raised in disgrace, Walter's efforts to understand Banquo's murder and honor his lineage take him on a long and treacherous journey through England and France before facing his destiny in Scotland.</span></span></p>

A winner&quot; -- <em>Chicago Sun-Times<br /></em></font><br /><font face="georgia" size="2">&quot;The pace gallops relentlessly ... Joseph Finder is perhaps the lead player in the corporate thriller genre&quot; -- <em>The New York Times Book Review <br /></em></font><br /><font face="georgia" size="2">&quot;Its premise is enough to send chills through corporate boardrooms, and through civilian readers too.  [Mr. Finder] easily draws readers into the mind of his smart young protagonist&quot; -- <span>Janet Maslin, <em>The New York Times<br /></em></span></font><br /><font face="georgia" size="2">&quot;The action is swift ... smooth-running ... Finder keeps the plot bubbling and the pages turning.  His bad guys are believably menacing, and Jake Landry is humane enough that a reader can't help rooting for him to outwit all his foes&quot; -- Tom Nolan,  <span><em>The Wall Street Journal  <br /></em></span></font></p>
