Drums of WarDrums of War
Captain Rawson is fighting alongside the brave and resolute Earl of Marlborough at the war-ravaged borders of Europe, defeating the self-proclaimed, 'invincible' French army. Yet victory is short lived, Blunted by the dissenting voices of the Dutch, who secretly seek to wrestle the power and life from Rawson's compatriot, Marlborough.
In these hostile and insecure times, Captain Rawson is called on to succeed in his biggest, most daring mission to date - the rescue of a celebrated tapestry-maker turned spy from inside the fortified Bastille - the pride of a despotic France. Alone behind the enemy-lines, the undaunted Rawson must apply all his guile and wit to rescue the renowned prisoner and his beautiful daughter, Amalia - a delicate girl with whom Rawson's friendship soon blossoms into something more. However, unbeknownst to Rawson the French and Dutch have already plotted both the assassination of Marlborough and the reclaiming of his power. This time Europe is beginning to close in on him, and it will take all of his self-sacrifice, skill and sincerity to once again rescue the war and the army's pride from out of the clutches of the betrayers.
