The acclaimed author of the Masters Of The Sea series, John Stack, presents Armada, a stand-alone battle book. It’s perfect for fans of authors Patrick O’Brian and Bernard Cornwell.
It’s 1587. After decades of religious strife, Elizabeth sits on the throne of England. Catholic revolts are being ruthlessly quashed. Sea captains and adventurers regularly attack the gold-laden galleons of Catholic Spain.
Thomas Varian is a captain in England’s navy. He hides a very dangerous secret – he is Catholic. He is about to find his conflicting loyalty to his religion, to his Queen, and to his country tested under the most formidable of circumstances: facing the mighty Spanish Armada.

"This is a seriously entertaining book for anyone who enjoys stirring descriptions of ancient warfare. You can almost taste the salt, see the blood and hear the shouts and screams! John Stack is to be welcomed into the ranks of first-rate historical writers." – The Tuam Herald on the Masters Of The Sea series
