Rebellion by Yorke, Philip, ISBN 1698530730, ISBN-13 9781698530734, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US It is 1643. England is engulfed in civil war, the bloodiest period in its history. It was a conflict that would lead to the downfall of a king, the creation of a republic, an explosion in religious freedoms – and two decades of fear, retribution, betrayal and slaughter. And it was a time for heroes, for men and women to prove their worth to their country – and the God they served. Francis Hacker, a leading Parliamentarian soldier, is one such hero. Hacker lives on the borders of Leicestershire, Rutlandshire and Nottinghamshire and is a Captain of Horse in the Leicestershire Militia. He is a notable commander and a trusted friend and supporter of Oliver Cromwell. As one of Parliament's elite officers, he is always in the thick of the action. Rebellion is a blend of fact – Francis Hacker is a real historical figure, tried and executed for being one of the regicides of Charles the First – and fiction. It is a fast-paced novel that throws Hacker into a world of deceit and danger. And it has got a big sting in its tail!
