The Queen In Waiting: Mary Tudor takes the throne (The Tudor Saga Series Book 5) Kindle Edition

by David Field (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 519 ratings
The Elizabethan Era is on the horizon! Perfect for fans of Conn Iggulden, Robyn Young, Alison Weir and Anthony Riches.

It is time for England to be put in the power of Tudor Queens.

Tudor England

Mary Tudor has claimed her sovereignty. But she remains conscious that her Council had briefly preferred another — her cousin, the Lady Jane Grey — and at the age of thirty-seven, unmarried and childless, she looks fearfully at the natural beauty and popularity of her nineteen-year-old half-sister Elizabeth.

After several suppressed uprisings against her unwise marriage to Philip of Spain, and her brutal burning of those who resist her determination to return England to Catholic worship under Papal supremacy, Mary subjects Elizabeth to various indignities such as imprisonment in the Tower, house arrest and banishment from the Court.

Somehow the young Tudor princess must survive the lies, intrigues and back-stabbings conspiring against her, as she waits for her moment to take the throne...

The Queen in Waiting is the fifth thrilling historical adventure novel in the Tudor Saga Series, chronicling the rise and fall of one of England’s most powerful royal families.

David was born in post-war Nottingham, and educated at Nottingham High School. After obtaining a Law degree he became a career-long criminal law practitioner and academic, emigrating in 1989 to Australia, where he still lives.

Combining his two great loves of History and the English language he began writing historical novels as an escape from the realities of life in the criminal law, but did not begin to publish them until close to fulltime retirement, when digital publishing offered a viable alternative to literary agencies, print publishers and rejection slips.

Now blessed with all the time in the world, his former hobby has become a fulltime occupation as he enjoys life in rural New South Wales with his wife, sons and grandchildren to keep him firmly grounded in the reality of the contemporary world.

    as always. Like many, I'm fascinated by this time period, I don't mean only Tudor England but all history in this region and timeframe. This story was no exception, Field brings these real life characters to the present. I find myself immersed in these stories, now onto book six!

    1.0 out of 5 stars Really, truly awful-bad history & lame dialogue
    Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2020
    Either this author didn't do their research or just ignored a lot of facts. I could possibly have overlooked that, since this is fiction, but the characters were so one dimensional & the dialog so lame it was painful to listen to on Kindle.
    It probably didn't help that I had just listened to "Bring up the Bodies" by Hilary Mantel, which was excellent.

    Really enjoyed this read. I love the way Mr. Field constructs the works, mostly factual laced with fiction and artistic licence. It sorts the jumble in my mind of the tudors. Easy to absorb all the characters and place them in the correct location in history. Thank you Mr. D Field.
