No King, No Country

The Inness Legacy, Book 1

It’s the Year of Our Lord 1650.  Oliver Cromwell and the forces of Parliament have overthrown the King of England after six years of vicious civil war.  The country is eager for peace, but there is anger in Cromwell’s victorious army.  The men who fought for Parliament paid in blood to defeat the Royalists and secure their rights, but in Cromwell’s England rights are reserved for only certain Englishmen.  As unrest sweeps through the army, Captain William Inness speaks up for his men, challenging Parliament to honor its promises.  For this he’s accused of a crime he didn’t commit and faces the gallows.  Where does a man run in Cromwell’s England to escape the hangman?  As far as you can. 

As far as America.
