On the eve of WWII, a young con artist is determined to reclaim his lost noble heritage and ingeniously worms his way into the aristocracy becoming Count von Ludberg of the Kingdom of Moravia. He gains wealth, power, and the love of a mysteriously spiritual woman. But with great power comes great responsibility, and the count must risk all to save the kingdom from war. Will the nobility survive? Or is it the end of an era?

EDITORIAL REVIEWS:

It would be difficult to place THE LAST NOBLEMAN into any known literary style or to extract from it a lucid summary. It is, however, definitely a return to romanticism on a grand scale! Benedict obviously writes for the masses, avoiding 'highbrow idiom' to present the mystery of life in explicable terms. Yet he allows a more intellectually oriented second story to flow between the lines.

When the author asked me to do the final editing of his original, I was pleasantly shocked by both the style and content. Now I understand better why he is one of the best-read authors in his native Europe, where [many] of his books have been published and sold into the millions. I heartily recommend this extraordinary book to any reader who would like to know more about the lives and times of fascinating people in an era now lost, as told in an entertaining and highly original way.

- George E. Turner, Editor-in-Chief of AMERICAN CINEMATOGRAPHER magazine, Hollywood 1986
