Book Description Pope's diplomat. As a protege of Constable Colonna he receives the rank of captain and is sent to the town of Ancona with a secret mission to expose and neutralize a Spanish spy ring acting in the army. After many dangerous adventures he manages to fulfill this task but faces the wrath of the Spaniards who are formally the Pope's allies. Through his ingenuity and resourcefulness he finds a way to allay the Vatican's fears of the Spaniards, survives the Spanish threats, and even defeats them diplomatically.
Mazarini was struck by the change in the cardinal's appearance since he last saw him three years ago.
This is the third of four books about the adventures of Giulio Mazarini. It covers the period from approximately 1627 to 1639, the most productive time in Mazarini's career. He tries hard to achieve one important goal: to restore peace in Western Europe. The peace was violated by Spain and Savoy which attacked the small marquesate of Montferrat in northern Italy. Mazarini manipulates the Spanish commander into inaction. By doing so, Mazarini happens to fulfill the agenda of Richelieu thus defending the interests of France. Richelieu appreciates his efforts. After a short period of happiness when Mazarini falls in love with a woman he saved from death, his fortunes take a turn for the worse. The young diplomat loses the favor of the Pope, who does not approve of Mazarini's leanings toward Richelieu's policies. As a result Mazarini has to flee Italy and goes to France.
The book is a fictional description of the life of Giulio Mazarini (Jules Mazarin as he is known in France and the English-speaking world), an Italian who lived in the 17th Century and had an amazing fate. He began his career as servant-companion of a young Italian noble and ended it as a ruler of France. This book is the first in a series consisting of four volumes: In the service of Constable Colonna, His Holiness' diplomat, Richelieu's admirer, and Ruler of France. The book is for anyone who likes adventure in a historical setting, from young adults to a mature audience. Readers may be attracted by the struggle of characters, possible rationale of famous historical personalities' actions, description of seventeenth century Europe, diplomatic battles not dissimilar to our present day clashes, the tenacity, optimism, and knowledge of human nature of the protagonist who rises to the very top against all odds. Apparently no fiction books totally devoted to Mazarini's life and adventures exist. As a character Mazarini appears in Alexander Dumas' "Twenty Years Later" where he is not the main personage and is mostly treated with sarcasm (a tribute to the common prejudice of that time).
