"Gentlemen, I will not stand for the sight of these people anymore. When I say I don’t want them in my sight I mean I want them OUT OF MY SIGHT, MIND, EARSHOT, AND OF FRANCE!" Cardinal Richeliu shouted banging his ring encrusted fist into the table, making the attending ministers look even more like frightened rabbits.

The sight made Antione sick, but he had no choice for the safety of his family and his faith he had to stop himself from standing up and shouting into the face of the beast that ruled France with a iron grip. No matter how much it did sicken him he…"

Wow just WOW. I could'nt put it down the entire time. I must have sat in my chair for at least five hours reading this thing. I HIGHLY Recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn the history of our northern(er) neighbor.

I don't think it was bad or good, I mean it was a good read about the history of the English-American nations northern Frenchie neighbor but I thought the plot was kind of cliche, though thats my opinion, anyone else (though I did a smile from seeing the Canadians kick the rearends of the CSA's anscestors lol! God Bless the South!)?

I say it bombs, sure its a good story but it DOES NOT stick to historical facts at all and portrays Richeliu and the Indians as the servents of the devil, whereas the former was majorly concerned with the stability of France not just because he disliked the Protestants with a fiery passion and the natives were the ones whose lands were on the edge of being pushed off of. I really think Bonparte has a thing out for them, just because they supported the English, he really hates the English too.
