"The Captain of the Guard" by James Grant is a thrilling historical novel that transports readers to the tumultuous world of 16th-century Scotland. Set against the backdrop of political intrigue and royal machinations, this gripping tale follows the exploits of its titular character, the valiant Captain of the Guard. Grant's masterful storytelling brings to life the intrigue, danger, and romance of the Scottish court as the Captain navigates treacherous waters, serving loyally while also grappling with his own personal struggles and desires. With its richly drawn characters and vivid descriptions, the novel immerses readers in a world of knights, nobles, and courtly intrigue. As the Captain faces challenges both on and off the battlefield, Grant explores themes of honor, duty, and the clash between personal loyalty and political allegiance. Through twists and turns, readers are kept on the edge of their seats, eagerly turning the pages to uncover the Captain's fate.
Named for its mythical leader “Captain Rock,” avenger of agrarian wrongs, the Rockite movement of 1821–24 in Ireland was notorious for its extraordinary violence. In Captain Rock, James S. Donnelly, Jr., offers both a fine-grained analysis of the conflict and a broad exploration of Irish rural society after the French revolutionary and Napoleonic wars. Originating in west Limerick, the Rockite movement spread quickly under the impact of a prolonged economic depression. Before long the insurgency embraced many of the better-off farmers. The intensity of the Rockites’ grievances, the frequency of their resort to sensational violence, and their appeal on such key issues as rents and tithes presented a nightmarish challenge to Dublin Castle—prompting in turn a major reorganization of the police, a purging of the local magistracy, the introduction of large military reinforcements, and a determined campaign of judicial repression. A great upsurge in sectarianism and millenarianism, Donnelly shows, added fuel to the conflagration. Inspired by prophecies of doom for the Anglo-Irish Protestants who ruled the country, the overwhelmingly Catholic Rockites strove to hasten the demise of the landed elite they viewed as oppressors. Drawing on a wealth of sources—including reports from policemen, military officers, magistrates, and landowners as well as from newspapers, pamphlets, parliamentary inquiries, depositions, rebel proclamations, and threatening missives sent by Rockites to their enemies—Captain Rock offers a detailed anatomy of a dangerous, widespread insurgency whose distinctive political contours will force historians to expand their notions of how agrarian militancy influenced Irish nationalism in the years before the Great Famine of 1845–51.
In this next installment of award-winner James L. Haley's gripping naval saga, Captain Bliven Putnam returns, embedding himself within a secret mission during the Texas Revolution that puts everything at risk. 1836: Having spent the past few years on various missions in the Caribbean, and battling a nasty bout of malaria, Captain Bliven Putnam is all but ready to retire and settle down properly in Connecticut with his wife, Clarity. But as the Texas Revolution kicks off and tensions in the Gulf of Mexico rise, Putnam is sent orders for a secret campaign that might turn the tides of the rebellion. For months, American settlers in Texas have been revolting against an increasingly tyrannical Mexican government. But while the Texans have a small yet powerful army under the command of Sam Houston, a one-time prot g of President Andrew Jackson, their navy is practically nonexistent. Such a lack of naval presence becomes dire when Mexican forces are caught using American vessels to smuggle war materials and supplies to their troops, a direct strike against America's proclaimed neutrality. While the United States is unable to risk any overt involvement, Jackson hand-selects Putnam to lead a mission in secret: In an aging brig disguised with the Republic of Texas flag, he's to venture into the waters of the Gulf and intercept the trafficking ring, making powerful enemies in the Mexican Navy. Reunited with his old friend Sam Bandy, Putnam teams up with Sam Houston to run the operation, all while some of the most dangerous battles of the Revolution are about to begin.
