Act of Oblivion - Harris Robert - książka
Producent: Hutchinson
"What drives them to flee?" The query lingered unanswered for a moment, as shadows shifted and the men disappeared indoors. A soft reply finally emerged: "They killed the King." In the year 1660, Colonel Edward Whalley, along with his son-in-law Colonel William Goffe, ventures across the Atlantic, pursued by a dark past. Accused of Charles I's murder, they have been convicted in absentia of high treason under the harsh terms of the Act of Oblivion. In the heart of London, Richard Nayler serves as the relentless secretary of the Privy Council's regicide committee. His mission is unyielding: to capture the elusive fugitives. The stakes are high, with a bounty placed on their capture, either alive or dead. "Act of Oblivion" unfolds an epic and unparalleled pursuit across vast lands. This captivating new work by Robert Harris promises a saga of suspense and excitement. Deemed as "the king of the page-turning thriller" by i Paper, Harris's knack for craft, perceptive judgment, and meticulous attention to detail are unmatched, according to the Sunday Times. The Financial Times praises Harris for his unparalleled skill and inventive storytelling, while TLS recognizes him as a powerhouse in historical fiction, vividly reviving both the distant and near past.
