The Falcon of Siam by Axel AylwenThe Great Epic Novel of Thailand
Siam - The Venice of the East. Into this fabulous world of innocent sensuality and exquisite power games strides Constantine Phaulkon, trader, cavalier and rogue. In the employ of the British East India Company, Phaulkon is pursuing his own sense of purpose - his destined link with Siam and its all-powerful monarch, King Narai.
A tale of seventeenth century piracy and war, set against a background of unrivalled beauty and fascination. One man's love for two women unravels within the pages of this epic novel in the grand tradition.
"An exciting, sweeping, bejewelled tale." Sunday Telegraph.
"As thrilling as any Spielberg swashbuckler. There is only one worry: that the word 'End' must eventually appear." Elle Magazine.
"A thoroughly enjoyable adventure story. It is also the most successful fictional treatment of Thailand by a foreigner yet published." Bangkok Post.
