Arnold Michael, 2005, The Civil War Chronicles
Following the Royalist victory and the fall of Bristol, the King's forces converge on Gloucester. The city's weak walls and potentially sympathetic governor make it a prime target. Stryker is tasked with infiltrating Gloucester to assess the possibility of surrender, a mission that becomes desperate when the city's defenders prove unexpectedly resolute.
Spared from a dire fate by his former commander, Vincent Skaithlocke, Stryker finds himself fighting for opposing sides. As loyalties are questioned, a chance discovery reveals a hidden danger that threatens not only Stryker but King Charles himself.
