Synopsis
The author of the Master of the Sea series, is back with a standalone battle book that will blow all others out of the water.
1587. Two nations are locked in bitter conflict. One strives for dominance, the other for survival.
After decades of religious strife, Elizabeth sits on the throne of England. The reformation continues. Catholic revolts have been ruthlessly quashed, and Elizabeth has ordered the execution of her cousin, Mary Queen of Scots. On the continent bloody religious wars rage, but England stands apart, her surrounding seas keeping her safe from the land armies of her would-be enemies. Only at sea do the English show their teeth. Sea captains and adventurers, hungry for the spoils of trade from the Spanish Main, regularly attack the gold-laden galleons of Catholic Spain. They are terriers nipping at the feet of war-horses but their victories disrupt the treasury of Spain, England's greatest threat, and Elizabeth's refusal to rein in her sea-captains further antagonises Philip II.
Thomas Varian is a captain in Drake's formidable navy, rising quickly through the ranks. But he guards a secret – one for which he would pay with his life if discovered: he is a Catholic. He is about to find his conflicting loyalty to his religion, to his Queen, and to his country tested under the most formidable of circumstances: facing the mighty Armada. Unknown to Varian, he will also be facing his long-estranged father, who is fighting on the side of the Spanish enemy…

Condition: Muy bueno. : En 1587, dos naciones se encuentran en un conflicto amargo. Una lucha por el dominio, la otra por la supervivencia. Tras décadas de conflictos religiosos, Isabel se sienta en el trono de Inglaterra. La reforma continúa. Las revueltas católicas han sido reprimidas sin piedad, e Isabel ha ordenado la ejecución de su prima, María Reina de Escocia. En el continente, las sangrientas guerras religiosas hacen estragos, pero Inglaterra se mantiene al margen, sus mares circundantes la mantienen a salvo de los ejércitos terrestres de sus posibles enemigos. Solo en el mar los ingleses muestran sus dientes. Capitanes de mar y aventureros, hambrientos de los despojos del comercio del Main español, atacan regularmente los galeones cargados de oro de la España católica. Son terriers mordisqueando los pies de los caballos de guerra, pero sus victorias interrumpen el tesoro de España, la mayor amenaza de Inglaterra, y la negativa de Isabel a controlar a sus capitanes de mar antagoniza aún más a Felipe II. Thomas Varian es un capitán de la formidable armada de Drake, que asciende rápidamente de rango. Pero guarda un secreto, uno por el que pagaría con su vida si fuera descubierto: es católico. Está a punto de encontrar su lealtad conflictiva a su religión, a su reina y a su país puesta a prueba en las circunstancias más formidables: enfrentarse a la poderosa Armada. Desconocido para Varian, también se enfrentará a su padre, de quien está distanciado desde hace mucho tiempo, que está luchando del lado del enemigo español.
