Tangier by Alex Janaway
On the shores of Northern Africa the British Army is born. The English Civil War is finally over. King Charles I has been restored to the throne and he has grand plans. The Portuguese colony of Tangier has come into his possession and with it the key to power in the Mediterranean. But to hold it he needs an army and all he has are the remnants of the forces that once fought for, and against, the monarchy. They must become the vanguard of his ambitions. James Fitzwilliam is a rogue and a royalist. Taken from his Scottish homeland by his father to fight for the monarchy-in-exile, he has grown up knowing nothing but a soldier's life. Now Fitzwilliam and a band of royalist and parliamentarian troops must learn to fight together if they are to survive this strange new land and the wily and dangerous Moors who hold dominion over it. The test will be greater than they know, and their battles will deliver a lasting legacy.
Alex Janaway is an officer in the British Army during the day and a writer by night (and occasional lunchtimes). He has been on operational tours to both the Balkans and Middle East. He has a bachelor's degree in English and American literature and Film Studies. He has also written for a number of computer games including the BAFTA nominated Merlin: The Game. He also worries that he spends far too much time collecting and painting metal figures and then pushing them around a table.
