Blood's Campaign
(Book)

August, 1685. Captain Holcroft Blood is with the English Army besieging the forces of the deposed monarch James II at Carrickfergus in Ireland. For Holcroft, this is more than war- he burns for vengeance against an old foe. French intelligence agent Henri d'Erloncourt has travelled to Ireland with orders from his master, Louis le Grand, to foment rebellion against William of Orange. Michael "Galloping" Hogan, brigand, boozer and despoiler of Protestant farms, strives to defend his native land - but when he takes the Frenchman's gold, he suspects that he has merely swapped one foreign overlord for another. July, 1690. On the banks of the river Boyne, two armies clash in bloody battle in an epic struggle for mastery of Ireland. And when the slaughter is finally over, for these three men, nothing will be the same.
