Summary
The year after defeating the Spanish Armada, England retaliates. The expedition to Portugal sets out to destroy what remains of Spain's Atlantic fleet, drive the Spanish out of Portugal, put the claimant Dom Antonio of Aviz on the throne, and seize the Azores. But from the time the English fleet, led by Drake and Norreys, reaches Plymouth, things start to go wrong. Christoval Alvarez, sent to carry out two missions by Walsingham, has a more important private plan in mind. Are any members of the family still alive? And what will become of the disaster-ridden expedition?

This was a very good story
It was so well told. I was nearly put off by the reviews but you can't sanitise history. Yes it was painful at times but life in the 16th century must've been. I found most books set back then were hard to read in places if they were realistic. If you want cosy don't read books so far back in history. Jan Cramer read it beautifully too. If you read any of the Shardlake books you won't criticise Ann Swinfen for this story.
