The story as it unfolds:

BRENTFORD HEADLINES; SOLDIERS AND CITIZENS GATHER AGAINST CHARLES AND RUPERT AT TURNHAM GREEN. CROMWELL REFLECTS AGAIN ON WHAT'S NEEDED FOR THE BUSINESS.

 

Author's Note: This concludes the first of a planned four-part novel of the English Civil War. The armies are moving into winter quarters; Sydney will be busy researching the Scots project, among other things, while Cromwell will be raising more troops in East Anglia. Part two, which details this activity along with various other matters, will begin in several weeks.

An expanded version of part one will be available within the six to eight months, in a more conventional form (that is, a book with covers!), and available through the usual booksellers.
