'A terrific read' Byron Rogers, Spectator
Following the beheading of his father Charles I in January 1649, the nineteen-year-old Prince of Wales vowed to seek vengeance. From exile, he instigated what became the biggest manhunt the nation had ever seen, spreading out across the West and lasting for over thirty years. With show trials and assassination squads scouring foreign countries, he searched for men such as John Milton, poetic genius and political propagandist; and Oliver Cromwell's steely son-in-law, Henry Ireton.
Set in an age of intrigue and espionage, The King's Revenge brings these remarkable figures vividly to life in an engrossing tale of double agents, ambition and betrayal.
'Beautifully detailed and seamlessly written . . . An energetic and masterful account' Marco Giannangeli, Sunday Express
'Fast-paced, lively . . . Jordan and Walsh provide vivid accounts of the bravery and fortitude with which the condemned men met their deaths . . . few could deny that they have provided a stirring hymn of praise to the republican heroes' Mark Stoyle, BBC History Magazine
