Verdict: stick
In Golden Lion, one of Smith’s rampaging historical novels starring Hal Courtney, Barrett has to take on a disfigured baddie (who sent Hal’s father to his death), shipwrecks off Zanzibar, violent maharajas with an axe to grind against Christians, and a heroic female Ethiopian leader who saved the Holy Grail. It is about as subtle as a kick to the groin, which in Golden Lion is getting off lightly.
