"Reads like a novel. A fast-paced page-turner, it has everything: sex, wit, humor, and adventures. But it is an impressively researched and important story.” —David Fromkin, author of Europe’s Last Summer
"King is marvelous at elaborating Rudbeck's theories . . . [and] tells his tale with the pace and appeal of a classic whodunit." – Publishers Weekly
An Eclectic Blend of History, Pop Culture and the World of Writing
About Me
- David King
- My books have been selected by the Book-of-the-Month Club, the History Book Club, and the Military Book Club, and translated into several languages, including most recently Chinese, Polish, Korean, and Russian. Before becoming a writer, I lived in Europe for six years and taught European history for several more at the University of Kentucky.
