Storming Party

Rivalry and battle abound in this action-packed historical adventure of the English Civil War. 1643:Sir William Waller's army has been defeated on Roundway Down, his infantry left stranded on the bleak slopes at the mercy of the Royalist cavalry. Sir Ralph Hopton is now free to turn his attention to Parliament's bastion in the West – Bristol. The city walls are strong enough but Bristol has precious few men and even fewer guns with which to defend them. And to make matters worse, rumour has it that Prince Rupert, the bane of Parliament's cause, is on his way from Oxford to reinforce Hopton. But for William Sparrow, captured on Roundway, such fears are distant. His fight against the King seems to be over and he is to be sold into slavery and shipped to the West Indies. Hugo Telling has fallen victim to confused fighting and is a prisoner of Parliament. The war between the two men for Bella Morrison's affections is at an impasse… The second thrilling instalment of The Shadow on the Crown series, Storming Party is perfect for fans of David Gilman and Bernard Cornwell. Praise for Nicholas Carter 'Paints a vivid and accurate picture of seventeenth-century battle' Richard Holmes, author of Firing Line 'Quite simply the best description of men in battle I have ever come across' John Lee, British Commission for Military History
