Wallace's story leads us through his many lives--as an outlaw and a fugitive, a hero and a patriot, a rebel and a kingmaker. He is the first heroic figure from the Scottish Wars of Independence brought blazingly to life in Jack Whyte's new trilogy, the Guardians, and will be followed by his two compatriots Robert the Bruce, King of Scots; and Sir James Douglas, known as The Black Douglas. Their exploits and escapades, desperate struggles and medieval savagery, high ideals and fierce patriotism are the stuff of legends, and the soul and substance of these epic novels.

If you are a someone who takes your historical fiction serious then Jack Whyte is your man. I've read a number of books featuring William Wallace but this is the one, I feel, comes closest to getting it right. One caution...Whyte likes to hear himself talk; it's worth the patience!

careful
i have not read this book yet, but as i am very familiar with jack whyte's work and know it will be great. however, Forest Laird and Rebel, the books i ordered, are the same book. one is a british publication and has a different title. so, i ordered two of the same books!
