5.0 out of 5 stars Conan Doyle should have written many more novels!!!

Supremely suspenseful in the second half. Love this author; only problem is that he devoted so much time to Sherlock Holmes, that he didn't contribute more novels of this sort...what a loss to us.

4.0 out of 5 stars Old Fashioned Writing but Still Delivers
Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2013

I thought Arthur Conan Doyle did a wonderful job of this story of a 17th century Huguenot who was a soldier in King Louis' army until the day the king forced him to make a choice. Knowing that he could never recant his faith and fearing the persecution that lay ahead for followers of Jean Calvin, he leaves the country with his bride-to-be and her father. An American who has been visiting Paris and taken in by the Huguenot family helps them escape France but on the way to their promised land they encounter such obstacles as a gigantic iceberg, a Jesuit priest, and a band of ferocious Iroquois warriors.

In spite of being written in the vernacular of the 19th century, the author has penned an adventure with enough cliff hangers that will keep you spellbound until the end of the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Conan Doyle's lesser known historical novels, which deserves to be much better known
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2013

I have loved this book for years. People forget that Conan Doyle began life as a teller of adventure stories and writer of historical novels. This tale of Huguenots who flee from France to the New World to begin a new life is every bit as exciting as Dickens's "A Tale of Two Cities". If you have only ever read the Sherlock Holmes stories, give yourself a treat and read this.

If you like adventure, this is an excellent book. Also, if you like historical fiction, it also fits that category. Very well written, as you would expect from this gentleman.

Both adults and young adults, especially those of Huguenot descent, will love this classic adventure story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The reader will coincidently learn a great amount of good history while racing through through the book's imaginative scenes of traveling to Canada. The main characters are stranded on an ice floe, attacked by Indians, and hunted by an unpleasant Jesuit.

Courage and bravery, derring-do and a sense of honor characterize not only the featured Huguenot family, but also woodsmen, soldiers, a crippled Catholic priest and an Iroquois woman married to a Frenchman.

Great story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Huguenot History
Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2009
This is a story of romance, adventure, and perilous escape , as a family of Huguenot merchants with a son in the military escapes religious persecution in France by fleeing to North America. It is wonderful, exciting, and it reminds you that good people come in every nationality, and that the good Samaritan is one who helps others despite religious differences.
Conan Doyle was an amazing writer. If you wish he's written more Sherlock Holmes' stories, try some of his other novels. You'll be glad you did.
