Warlord's Gold (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | Michael Arnold | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

It's autumn 1643, and the war is grinding England to dust. Captain Stryker rides out of Oxford with new orders: travel to the storm-lashed Scilly Isles and recover a treasure vital to the Royalist cause. But the islands offer no sanctuary. A formidable Parliamentarian agent, Tainton, has got there first. He's feared by ally and enemy alike, and driven by a hatred for Stryker that runs deeper than politics.

The quest for the gold pulls Stryker and his men south, across savage seas, through enemy territory, and into the walls of Basing House, where one of the great sieges of the Civil War is about to begin. And where Stryker will face the most dangerous reckoning of his life...

A gritty and authentic historical civil war adventure, perfect for fans of David Gilman, Giles Kristian and Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe.
