Review

"It is 1587 and the Spanish are preparing to launch the Armada. Ex-soldier David Becket, now responsible for the Queen's Ordnance, discovers that large quantities of gunpowder are going astray. Can someone in the heart of the English government be selling munitions to the Spanish?"

Summary

"Simon Ames, Becket's old friend, has been captured by the Inquisition in Lisbon as he attempts to spy for the Queen. His wife, Rebecca; a black slave, Merula, and Becket are permitted to try to rescue him on one condition. They must also infiltrate the Spanish fleet and unravel the riddle of the Miracle of Beauty. But Simon has been sentenced to forced labour as a galley slave on the Armada and, chained to an oarbench, is now bound for England."--BOOK JACKET
