CAPTAIN DANIEL RAWSON’S MOST DANGEROUS ESCAPADE YET


Flanders, 1707. Returning to camp from a dangerous solo mission behind enemy lines, Captain Daniel Rawson finds himself stranded, with French soldiers in fierce pursuit. A kindly farmer helps Daniel hide and then to escape – but with dire consequences.


Back in England there is political unrest. Queen Anne’s favour has shifted causing the Duke of Marlborough to resign as Commander-in-Chief.

And all the while, the treacherous and scheming Duc de Vendôme, is hell-bent on capturing Daniel, by any means at his disposal, including kidnapping the beautiful Amalia.


With the odds stacked against him, Daniel, aided by his friend Henry Welbeck, must face his greatest challenge yet and fight for his life at the bloody battle of Oudenarde.
