Captain Daniel Rawson's most dangerous escapade yet
Flanders, 1707. Returning to camp from a dangerous solo mission
behind enemy lines, Captain Daniel Rawson finds himself stranded,
with French soldiers in fierce pursuit. A kindly farmer helps Daniel
hide and then to escape Â- but with dire consequences.
Back in England there is political unrest. Queen Anne's favour has
shifted causing the Duke of Marlborough to resign as
Commander-in-Chief. And all the while, the treacherous and scheming
Duc de Vendôme, is hell-bent on capturing Daniel, by any means at
his disposal.
With the odds stacked against him, Daniel, aided by his friend
Henry Welbeck, must face his greatest challenge yet and fight for
his life at the bloody battle of Oudenarde.
