Soon Tom finds himself assisting the Puritan leader John Pym in his search for a consignment of stolen gunpowder being smuggled out of London by Royalist forces. With the divisions between King and Parliament becoming greater, England is rapidly heading towards Civil War and spice merchant Thomas Tallant and his friends are being forced to choose sides. This third novel opens in London in 1642. It also works as a standalone novel, so don’t worry if you haven’t read the first two in the series. The Drums of War is the third in Michael Ward’s Thomas Tallant mystery series, continuing the story begun in Rags of Time and The Wrecking Storm. I’m falling behind with my reviews again, so here are my thoughts on three recent reads – all very different books.
