Clifford Beal’s Gideon’s Angel
appears from Solaris next month (£7.99):
“1653: The long and bloody English Civil War is at an end. King
Charles is dead and Oliver Cromwell rules the land as king in all but name.
Richard Treadwell, an exiled royalist officer and soldier-for-hire to the King
of France and his all-powerful advisor, the wily Cardinal Mazarin, burns with
revenge for those who deprived him of his family and fortune.
He decides upon a self-appointed mission to return to England in
secret and assassinate the new Lord Protector. Once back on English soil
however, he learns that his is not the only plot in motion. A secret army run
by a deluded Puritan is bent on the same quest, guided by the Devil’s hand.
When demonic entities are summoned, Treadwell finds himself in a desperate
turnaround: he must save Cromwell to save England from a literal descent into
Hell.”
