Rib Bone Jack John Williamson

Fast moving action adventure set in the deadly world of spies and spy catchers, during the Napoleonic wars. Amidst rumours of the King's failing health and general discontent amongst the general population, revolution is in the air. Not the loud spectacle the French laid on a few years before, but a quiet sneaky operation conducted by corrupt politicians and self serving officials. Slowly over the winter of 1802 power and liberty had been removed from the crown, leaving them powerless to those that would surrender British interests to the highest bidder. In the final stages of this quiet rebellion, a small group of loyal men retreat to the North Norfolk coast to defend their last faint hope. The fourth in the Rib Bone Jack series sees the roguish hero take arms once more. As ever, the action is thick and fast, and trust is an unaffordable luxury. (The fourth in the series but they read in any order)
