Elizabethan renaissance: a romantic political thriller

Seeking to turn the clock back several centuries, a dedicated group of intellectuals and servicemen set out to restore English royal prerogatives and regain lost colonies and dominions by taking advantage of political unrest in a number of countries. Through intrigue, guile, patronage, flattery and inducements they achieve some of their aims, but emotional problems frustrates others and personal ambitions intrude fatally.

The tense action is gripping, unpredictable and exciting. Women readers will love the high emotion involvement as much as the men strive to keep up with the plots twist and turns. Definitely a him and her narrative with lots to discuss and fight over: better buy two books or get the spare room ready.
