Synopsis

A rollicking Roundheads and Cavaliers adventure.
It's 1642, and as far as Jacob Emerick is concerned the whole country’s gone mad. Bigots tearing it apart. Blooming Politics & Religion, setting the King & Parliament at loggerheads. Thank goodness Jacob’s got more sense, he knows, as the family legal expert, that it’s up to him to save the family merchant shipping empire from the Puritans and the King's men. They both want the ships and either side will reward anyone who delivers them. Jacob knows that if the money they borrowed to buy the new ship is called in they'll lose the lot. He has to prevent it, keep the ships out of the way of either party, and his head out of a noose for both sides play very rough, murder is their game.
