    Summary

    September 1651 to September 1658.
    The Interregnum, in which Oliver Cromwell struggles to reconcile what is morally right with a bunch of self-serving crooks (or the Rump Parliament as they are also called), and in the end just dismisses them. There then ensues a number of attempts to govern England without a king and very nearly one with a King Oliver, but in the end time runs out even for Old Ironsides. Now what?

    Summary

    The Complete Cases Of Sherlock Holmes And John Watson. All 366 cases plus assorted interludes, hiatuses, codas &c.

    1899-1900. A short but important period in the careers of the dynamic duo as having averted the end of the world (as you do), Sherlock recovers from his carelessness in hurting his beloved John and encounters questionable bequests, crooked gamblers, helpful saints, unhelpful sailors, prejudiced professors, harassed hairdressers, jumping journalists, turbulent priests, unusual cab-drivers, Spartan behemoths and an attempt to destroy a close friend. Plus there is one of the two most famous previously unpublished cases, the Abernetty Affair or why the parsley sank so low into the butter. And then a kind act of the great detective repays itself with a chance to truly make his beloved a very happy man in the wee small hours of the morning (no, not that way!).

    Summary

    November 1643 to December 1644.
    Even for a soldier like James Buchanan Barnes, the phrase uttered by one of his fellow fighters drawing comparisons with the nearly three decades of blood and destruction over in Germany is terrifying - 'a war well-managed can be made to last many a year'. Yet with the two sides so evenly matched victory seems far away for either, so they each try to bring in outside help. With rather different results.....

Once they arrive, the Novaks meet Lord Dean Winchester, a man of considerable fortune, and his younger brother, Colonel Sam Winchester.

    Summary

    October 1642 to November 1643.
    The advantage is mostly with the king in the first year of major fighting, but he fails to make it pay against his often divided enemies. Parliament loses its leader in John Pym but manages to stay in the fight (just) and after the first battle fought at Newbury the war seems to be going nowhere fast. Also Luke gets married, which means – gulp – there will soon be gra.... children of children for a certain nobleman!

    Summary

    June 1641 to September 1642.
    The Three Kingdoms spiral inexorably towards civil war, not helped by massacres in Ireland and the king paying an ill-timed visit to the Commons with several dozen soldiers armed to the teeth. He is forced to flee London and, to the alarm of our heroes, seems set on Oxford as his capital. Danger looms – but an act of kindness may yet come to their assistance.

    Summary

    The Complete Cases Of Sherlock Holmes And John Watson. All 366 cases plus assorted interludes, hiatuses, codas &c.

    1897-1898. If you thought the dangers facing the dynamic duo were surely over by now, think again. Sherlock makes a rare mistake when a warning about body-parts seems not to have come true, and it is John who will risk paying the ultimate price, for after devils, angels, supermen, soldiers, magistrates, Maudes, paint, politics, sweeps and someone who is a little too honest for his own good, the doctor's life again comes under threat and someone tries to flee the country.

    Summary

    July 1637 to May 1641.
    King Charles loses control of Scotland, and his efforts to recover it lead only to his being forced to do the one thing that he has striven to avoid for over a decade – call an English parliament, which for some strange and inexplicable reason is less than happy with him. They demand changes and, eventually, the head of one of his chief supporters. Meanwhile Stephen's own life changes unexpectedly as he relocates to England, where he finds a new enemy in his own family. But at least he still has his Winter Soldier.

    Summary

    January 1632 to July 1637.
    Determined to make his Personal Rule work, King Charles knows that the one thing that he absolutely must not do is to get involved in any wars, as they cost money and that means another of those vile parliament thingies. Ugh! And the good news is that he does indeed avoid starting any Continental wars.
    The not quite so good news is that he instead manages to start a war in his own northern kingdom! Stephen and Jamie are witnesses as the one man who might have stopped the king is sacked, another who tries to stop him is nearly killed, and things get steadily worse until, in St. Giles's Cathedral, Edinburgh, a lady called Jenny Geddes picks up her stool and....

    Summary

    The Complete Cases Of Sherlock Holmes And John Watson. All 366 cases plus assorted interludes, hiatuses, codas &c.

    1897-1898. Sherlock slowly recovers from his disgraced ex-brother Torver's vicious attack, although he has 'help' courtesy of an Arthurian knight. He also has a rare case with one of the Baker Street Irregulars involving theft and mathematics. There is a gruesome murder by someone who thinks they are bound to get away with it (they are wrong), a handyman who is rather too handy, some cartoon capers, and a stolen painting that is not stolen. Then it is onto monks, monkeying around, shootings and sovereigns, before karma once again shows that she has a warped sense of humour.
