Produktbeschreibung

The year is 1618 and the beginning of the brutal Thirty Years' War. Lieutenant Jack Channing's life is about to be immutably altered by two events. He falls in love with a beautiful countess and witnesses an attempt on the Polish King Sigismund's life. News reaches the court that assassination attempts on Catholic monarchs have occurred elsewhere in Europe and Jack is charged with the responsibility of finding and crushing the perpetrators - murderers that became known as the Green-Scarf Fraternity.

Mixing real historical events with fictional retelling, The Cavalier Club, is a richly detailed, impeccably researched story of adventure, bravery and love set during one of Europe's longest and most destructive conflicts.

Autorenporträt

Stanley Goldyn was born and bred in Melbourne, and graduated at Monash University (Clayton) with a Master's degree, majoring in physics and engineering. His work with a multinational plastics and chemicals company took him regularly around the globe, and the long flights supported his passion for reading. His interest deepened in the relatively little-known Thirty Years' War of 1618-1648, a period of savage and bloodthirsty turbulence in Europe's history. Enjoying action and adventure, he wanted to capture this phase of romance, elegance, duelling and chivalry, and so The Cavalier Club was born. He currently resides in Ringwood North, Victoria.
