Spring, 1648.
When Thomas Hill, a bookseller living in rural Hampshire, publishes a political pamphlet, he has little idea of the trouble that will follow. He is quickly arrested, forced on a boat to Barbados and condemned to life as a slave to two of the island's most notoriously violent brothers.
In England war has erupted again, with London under threat of attack. When news of the king's execution reaches the island, political stability is threatened, and a fleet commanded by Sir George Ayscue arrives to take control of the island for Cromwell. The threat of violence increases. Thomas finds himself witness to abuse, poison, rape and savage brutality. When a coded message from Ayscue to a sympathiser on the island is intercepted, Thomas is asked to decipher it. A disastrous battle seems inevitable.
But nothing turns out as planned. And as the death toll mounts, the escape Thomas has been relying on seems ever more unlikely....

Wonderfully crafted - takes us to the British Caribbean island where we encounter the cruelties of slavery and the indentured servitude measures of the times as well as the social structure transferred from England, but not quite as highly structured as money from sugar cane was the currency of the day, not royal birth. However, we still see the same divisions regarding the king as there were back in England. Thomas Hill is placed in an untenable position as an indentured servant although he knows not how or by whom. He seeks nothing more than escape and to go home.

I was not surprised that Tobias Rush was heard from again but now I hope he is gone for good. Again an easy read and a good story line to keep one excited about turning the page!
