"What news do you bring from London?" Betty Cromwell asked him. "Anything that may prove dangerous to my Ollie?"
"Shouldn't think so,” he said in a calming tone, "so long as he stays clear of Pym and his rabble rousers."
"But he is with Pym now, at a political rally in Cambridge."
Daniel stood, turned, and threw his hosters over his shoulder as he strode out of the back door and into the sunshine. "I'm borrowing a horse."
She dropped to her knees to beseech the Lord to keep her husband safe, but instead she sniffed up her fears and called out after the tall pistoleer, "Oh please Daniel, keep my Ollie safe!"

Skye Smith is my pen name. The Pistoleer is a series of historical adventure novels set in Britain in the 1640's. I was encouraged to write them by fans of my Hoodsman series.
This is the second of the series, and you should read the first novel 'HellBurner' before you read 'Slavers' because it sets the characters and scene for the entire series. The sequence of the books follows the timeline of the Republic of Great Britain. The chapter headings identify the dates and places.
