About the Book

Nicholas Talbot is heartbroken - his family home burned to the ground and the love of his life married to another. He has gone from callow youth to adventurer and has become the progenitor of theatre's greatest ever conspiracy. In this second adventure he begins to look for more in life than transient thrills, but his ability to find trouble is unerring.

About the Author :
Myrrha Stanford-Smith studied at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and worked in professional theatre and as a teacher before retiring to the Isle of Anglesey, where she founded the Ucheldre Repertory Company. She is the author of "Flights of Angels "and" Great Lie."

Review :
In Stanford-Smith's second Nicholas Talbot adventure our gallant, if unpredictable hero, returns after making his fortune to find his home in flames. Without his knowledge, his beloved Kate has given birth to a (his) son Jack, and is now married to his friend and steward Hugh Shawcross. Nick understands Kates reasoning; she had not heard a word from him since he bade her goodbye five years previously. Temporarily bereft of his home, his bride and his son, Nick once again takes off on his exploits. As a knight of the realm he is indebted to Queen Elizabeth, and finds himself embroiled in her spymasters shady dealings. Nick becomes the unlikely ambassador to Venice, a temporary post which gives him the chance to search out the whereabouts of the brilliant but supposedly dead playwright Christopher Marlowe. Marlowes latest work greatly inspires Nick, and his desires for the theatre. He also meets the artist and architect, Inigo Jones, whom he commissions to build a house. The authors use of many of the historical figures of Elizabeth Is reign, including William Shakespeare, Robert Cecil, the Seymours and Richard Burbage to mention but a few, allows Sea of Troubles to stand on its own without reference to Nicks previous escapades in The Great Lie. Never for a moment does Stanford-Smith permit her characters to lack credibility. This is an action-packed, historical adventure by a masterful story-teller.
