1635: A Parcel of Rogues (20) (The Ring of Fire)

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, including notorious enemy to the crown Oliver Cromwell. Now,Â Â the hunt for Cromwell is on, with King Charles himself demanding Cromwellâ€™s head.

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 Cromwellâ€™s Irish-American self-appointed watchdog Darryl McCarthy.
Â
Soon, the hunt is on for the most notorious rebel in English history, with King Charles himself demanding Cromwellâ€™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.
Â
The hunt passes through England and into Scotland, where the conflict between Cromwell and his companions and their would-be captors becomes embroiled in Scotlandâ€™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 respectâ€”and even likeâ€”the man, despite Cromwellâ€™s demonic reputation among all self-respecting Irish nationalist families like Darrylâ€™s own.Â
Â
Itâ€™s a Gordian knot anywhere you lookâ€”until Julie Sims brings out her rifle. Now itâ€™s the turn of Scot partisans and English lords and Irish toughs to learn the lesson already learned on the continent:Â
Â
A safe distance isnâ€™t what you think it is. Not after the American angel of death spreads her wings.
