Apie šią el. knygą
Part of an “excellent series,” this seventeenth-century naval adventure features a Royal Navy captain facing down a formidable enemy in the North Sea.
Winter, 1666. England is again at war with the Dutch, and Matthew Quinton is once more called to serve his King.
On a mission to the Swedish court, he must secure crucial support in the war against Sweden’s old enemy, the Dutch Republic. He is accompanied by the mysterious Lord Conisborough, who, unbeknownst to Quinton, has a secret mission involving the notorious regicide John Bale, the man who signed the death warrant of King Charles I.
With Conisborough complicating matters, and in a situation fraught with political tensions and competing loyalties, Quinton and his crew must seek help from the most unexpected of quarters . . .
The Lion of Midnight is the unputdownable fourth book in the compelling Matthew Quinton Journals series of nautical sagas.
Praise for the writing of J. D. Davies:
“Hornblower, Aubrey and Quinton—a pantheon of the best adventures at sea!” —Conn Iggulden, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of The Conqueror and War of the Roses series
“A hero worth rooting for.” —Publishers Weekly
“Utterly impossible to put down . . . Finely-shaded characters, excellent plotting, gut-clenching action and immaculate attention to period detail . . . Superb.” —Angus Donald, author of The Outlaw Chronicles series
“Destined to be a classic of nautical adventure series.” —Eric Jay Dolin, author of Leviathan and Fur, Fortune, and Empire
“A naval adventure that goes well beyond the usual outlines of the genre to paint a lively portrait of England in the 1600s.” —Kirkus Reviews
