Book Description
Book #20 in the multiple New York Times_best-selling Ring of Fire series. When the diplomatic embassy from the United States of Europe was freed from the Tower of London during the Baltic War, most of its members returned to the continent. But some remained behind in Britain: Oliver Cromwell and a few companions, including the sharpshooter Julie Sims, her Scot husband Alex Mackay, and Cromwells Irish-American self-appointed watchdog Darryl McCarthy. Soon, the hunt is on for the most notorious rebel in English history, with King Charles himself demanding Cromwells head. The new chief minister Richard Boyle, Earl of Cork, brings over from Ireland a notorious crew of cutthroats led by the man called Finnegan to track down and capture the escapees from the Tower. The hunt passes through England and into Scotland, where the conflict between Cromwell and his companions and their would-be captors becomes embroiled in Scotlands politics, which are every bit as savage and ruthless as Finnegan and his men. To make things still more conflicted and confused, the time Darryl McCarthy spends fighting alongside Cromwell forces him against his will to admire and respectÊand even likeÊthe man, despite Cromwells demonic reputation among all self-respecting Irish nationalist families like Darryls own. Its a Gordian knot anywhere you lookÊuntil Julie Sims brings out her rifle. Now its the turn of Scot partisans and English lords and Irish toughs to learn the lesson already learned on the continent: A safe distance isnt what you think it is.

Scotland votes against independence in the referendum. The news is greeted by a massive and devastating explosion outside the Scottish Parliament building. The tartan terrorists are back, after a hiatus of nearly twenty years.The Alba Liberation Army terrorised the UK in the early 1990s, bombing and assassinating without compunction. Until one man infiltrated the group and stopped them; Jock Mackinlay, ex-special forces MI5 undercover officer. The terrorists were apprehended and jailed - and Jock melted back into the shadows.Now Jock's returned, recalled from extended 'sick-leave' by the Machiavellian MI5 chief, John Cairnville. Back on the booze and with his granddaughter on life-support after a hit-and-run car crash, Jock's not in a good place but Cairnville's desperate and his fragile foot soldier is the only card he has left to play. Cairnville teams Jock up with Karen Miller. One of the new MI5 breed; she's professional, well-trained and extremely adept at surveillance techniques. Miller doesn't initially bond with the grizzled dinosaur but the fireworks really begin when the brash, super-confident Inspector Jamie Fraser from Special Branch enters the mix. Jock and the younger man embark on a long-term pissing contest which threatens to destabilise the investigation. As Jock's past returns to haunt him, and his life goes into meltdown, the terrorists and their horrifying objective are finally identified. Jock, Miller and Fraser converge on the target for a decisive confrontation with their ferocious adversaries; a brutal encounter which will claim lives on both sides.

Book Description
ALTERNATE HISTORY FROM A MASTER. Best known for his genre-defining Ring of Fire novels, Flint continues his alternate look at Jacksonian America in 1824: The Arkansas War. The relocation of the southern Indian tribes to Oklahoma engineered by Sam Houston following the War of 1812 also swept up many black inhabitants of North America. Many of the states in the USA—free as well as slaveholding—have passed laws ordering the expulsion of black freedmen. Having nowhere else to go, they joined the migration of the southern Indian tribes and settled in Arkansas. What results by 1824 is a hybrid nation of Indians, black people, and a number of white settlers as well. The situation is intolerable for the slaveholding states, which find a champion in Speaker of the House Henry Clay, whose longstanding ambition to become President of the United States looks to be coming to fruition. But Sam Houston and his friends and allies —the freedman Charles Ball, a former gunner for the US Navy and now a general in the Arkansas army, and the Irish revolutionary Patrick Driscol—are building a powerful army of their own in Arkansas. The crisis is brought to a head by the election of 1824. The war that follows will be a bloody crisis of conscience, politics, economics, and military action, drawing in players from as far away as England. And for such men as outgoing president James Monroe, Secretary of State John Quincy Adams, charismatic war hero Andrew Jackson, and the violent abolitionist John Brown, it is a time to change history itself. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management). About 1635: A Parcel of Rogues: “The 20th volume in this popular, fast-paced alternative history series follows close on the heels of the events in The Baltic War, picking up with the protagonists in London, including sharpshooter Julie Sims.
