Lieutenant Holcroft Blood is a brilliant but unusual gunnery officer in King James II Ordanance. This is a great historical read with absolutely good detailed descriptions of gore-drenched battlefields of Sedgemoor July 1685. While revolution brews in the gentlemen clubs of London against James II, brutal, autocratic rule, Holcroft Blood must decide whether to join the conspirators and support Dutch Williams invasion or remain loyal to the King.
In the background to the story Holcroft Blood discovers that a murderous French spymaster has followed him across from France and is trying to kill him.
The book is well written with a lot of good historical facts to boot.
The book also has an appealing cover that fully draws your attention.
