Guy Fawkes is often portrayed as evil or even demonic in literature, but here we see a more likeable person. Reading this today we can see parallels with our modern world with regards to religious terrorism. As the conspirators plot secretly to carry out their plan it is inevitable that more and more people learn that something is astir. From the opening scene where two Catholic priests are executed this book is action packed, with loads of derring-do, prison escapes, torture, treason and informants. As the Government become aware of some sort of plot thus starts a game of cat and mouse with the conspirators, taking the action right to the wire before making a definitive move. John Buchan creates from this idea 14 self-sufficient short stories, spanning about 1000 years, each successive one several generations, or even centuries, further forward in time.
