Really enjoyed talking to the Royal Stuart Society about Prince Rupert last night. A great Q&A session afterwards. * Could Rupert have taken London after Edgehill if he'd been allowed? * Was his civil war military record marred by his cavalry charges? * Was he an effective naval commander?

Award Winning Thriller set in Cold War Portugal - the Estado Novo is crumbling but it’s personal between the ‘Fisherman’ and Leonid. amzn.eu/d/cNKbfnK
