A decisive Imperial victory; a casket abandoned after battle. A hunt for vital letters begins as Bohemia simmers in a cauldron of religious conflict.

With the brutal Thirty Years’ War broiling into the summer of 1619, Lieutenant Jack Channing takes on a cavalier’s commission and pursues the malevolent Sébastian Grieux, who reclaims the parchments for the Bohemian rebels. While negotiating the attentions of Anežka, the Princess Š?asná-Št?chová and alluring chatelaine of Velešín Castle, and the distractions of Marianna, the countess that he adores, Jack searches for the casket and his nemesis, determined to recover the documents and preserve a reputation.

This sequel to The Cavalier Club is a swashbuckling yarn of love, honour and adventure. The Cavalier’s Commission captures the early events of Europe’s devastating conflict with genuine and immersive storytelling, woven from a rigorous study of historical material.

About the Author

Stanley Goldyn was born and bred in Melbourne, and graduated at Monash University (Clayton) with a Master’s degree, majoring in physics and engineering. His work with a multinational plastics and chemicals company took him regularly around the globe, and the long flights supported his passion for reading. His interest deepened in the relatively little-known Thirty Years’ War of 1618-1648, a period of savage and bloodthirsty turbulence in Europe’s history. Enjoying action and adventure, he wanted to capture this phase of romance, elegance, duelling and chivalry, and so The Cavalier Club was born. He currently resides in Ringwood North, Victoria.
