Adventure thriller set in Renaissance Italy starring Leonardo da
Vinci as a young apprentice who witnesses a murder and becomes
involved in a plot to take over the city. LEONARDO AND THE DEATH
MACHINE is first and foremost a thriller, set against the
background of Renaissance Italy. However, the Leonardo of the title
is in fact Leonardo da Vinci. This is a totally fictional
adventure, but it COULD have happened. When we first meet Leonardo
we find him apprenticed to a successful artist in Florence. But
although he yearns to be a great artist himself, he's rather
disillusioned with his apprenticeship, which has made him more of
an errand boy than an art student. Then, when an impromptu street
football match ends in an arm injury for his friend Sandro (whom
history will know as Botticelli), Leonardo leaps at the opportunity
to help out the unfortunate painter who has been commissioned to
paint a portrait for the rich Medici family. Little does our young
hero know that soon he will be dragged into murder and intrigue,
and will be fleeing for his life!
