More than a historical novel and more a novel of adventure! JC Rufin to pass the perfect alchemy between these two genres and it gives a result of a high quality. The fond of History will be interested and adventure lovers will be charmed and captivated. The characters are engaging, and the adventures of Jean-Baptiste Poncet keep us in suspense throughout the story. The beautiful descriptions of landscapes, through which our heroes are full of colors and fragrances of the East: it feels on her skin the bite of the sun, the oases are perceived fragrance is meant the sounds of teeming eastern cities of activities. It is a book of great magic to which we can only succumb. I invite you to read also "Save Isfahan" by the same author who is in the same vein. A REGAL!
