A Very Murdering Battle
A Very Murdering Battle: A dramatic adventure for Captain Daniel Rawson | Edward Marston
2 posts | 1 read
It is 1709, and Europe is in the midst of the coldest winter for a century. France is suffering profoundly: with her people starving and her army rattled by mutiny and desertions, King Louis XIV is at The Hague, searching for peace with the English on almost any terms. To assist these negotiations, the Duke of Marlborough sends Captain Daniel Rawson on a dangerous mission to Paris to seek out a package of vital information that could secure an advantageous peace deal for England. Yet in spite of his efforts, the peace talks collapse, and Daniel finds himself once more embroiled in dangerous adventure. For Marlborough has another mission for him: this time it is not information but a precious tapestry that has to be recovered. The tapestry of the Battle of Ramillies has been stolen, and Daniels hunt for the ruthless thieves leads him into enemy territory, where he must daily outwit betrayal and kidnap, and risk capture and life itself. All the while, the French army is regaining its strength under the supervision of Marshall Villars, a worthy opponent in the field. As the opposing armies mass in the area around the village of Malplaquet, a bloody encounter looms. Which means that if Daniel manages to return safely to the Dukes forces from behind enemy lines, he must then stand fast and fight in their most murdering battle yet.

With this I have finished the Captain Daniel Rawson Series, 5 books that are all very enjoyable and cover sone of the key battles in the War of the Spanish Succession. This one felt like two books, the first half with Daniel investigating a crime, the second half the Battle of Malplaquet, which seemed an incredibly deadly battle. Sorry to finish the series #SeriesLove2023 @TheSpineView
