Synopsis

Gentle Infidel tells the story of a Venetian boy impressed into military service in the elite Janissary corps of the Grand Turk. The time period is the decade before the overthrow of the last capital of the Roman Empire.

During the fall of Constantinople the young warrior, hardened by years of training and trials of heartache, learns his own hidden history, and must use his skills and conscience to find his own path.

“Ignorant of his noble Venetian birth...he met and loved a beautiful Italian girl...midst the flames of fallen Constantinople and the crash of history’s first cannonade”
- The New York Times

“Sheer adventure, fully panoplied and highly colored...”
-Kirkus book review

“A rip-roaring historical novel...a much better drawn background than usual for this kind of book...”
-Booklist

“...a contest of character—a Christian boy mistakenly inducted into the Janissary corps...His story smiles.”
-New York Herald Tribune
