    About this ebook

    It is 1709, and Europe is in the midst of the coldest winter for a century. France is suffering profoundly: with her people starving and her army rattled by mutiny and desertions, King Louis XIV is at The Hague, searching for peace with the English on almost any terms. To assist these negotiations, the Duke of Marlborough sends Captain Daniel Rawson on a dangerous mission to Paris to seek out a package of vital information that could secure an advantageous peace deal for England.


    Yet when the peace talks collapse, Daniel is again embroiled in a dangerous adventure behind enemy lines And as the French army regains its strength and a bloody encounter looms at Malplaquet, Daniel faces his most murdering battle yet.

      This is the fifth instalment in the Captain Daniel Rawson series and once again we see our hero undertaking dangerous missions behind enemy lines but unfortunately his character development seems to have come to a complete halt. Now I'm all for 'boys own stories' but quite frankly the title of this book seems a complete misnomer. Whilst the text runs along at a reasonably good pace and it is an easy read there is also a lot of repetition of previous books and the author seems to have given up totally on the idea of writing action scenes. A large portion of this book deals with Daniel in Amsterdam trying to catch thieves who have stolen a tapestry intended for his Commander-in-Chief, Lord Marlborough, from his love interest's father's workshop whereas the battle of Malplaquet, one of the bloodiest that ever occurred in Europe, is all wrapped up in 10 or so pages. All a little disappointing.Once again Marston gives a decent background into a War and period that I know little but this is not enough to raise it above the ordinary.
