Final adventure of the Glassmaker Series.
Now that Mary Stuart is dead, Jacob hopes to retire from his espionage work and concentrate on glass-making. The dogs of war, whipped up by Philip of Spain cast their shadow over an isolated England. As the mighty Armada gathers it's strength for the invasion of England, Jacob and his ships run the gauntlet of the Catholic ships to carry on their business. His son Ricardo has inherited Jacob's love of the sea and is serving as an officer in The Crystal's sister ship, The Maria.
When the Armada sweeps up the English Channel to be harried by the English fleet, both of his ships become embroiled in the conflict. As the battle reaches it's climax, Jacob is forced to put The Crystal and his son in extreme peril to delay the Armada's escape and allow the English ships to engage the Spanish fleet. The combined firepower of his ships is formidable, but the odds are insurmountable. Will they be able to survive long enough for the fleet to reach them?
