June 1645. After their rout at the battle of Naseby in Northamptonshire, King Charles' forces are in disarray, their last hope the loyal hardcore in the West of England. Colonel Hollie Babbitt, following the Army of Parliament westwards, has a degree of sympathy for His Majesty. His own troop of rebels, Anabaptists and horse thieves is in almost perpetual disarray.... But with the creation of the New Model Army, Hollie is being forced to make his own last stand, as a spokesman against this new inflexible regime. And of the two men who've been at his back since the beginning of the wars, the volatile Russell is invalided out after a mysterious incident at Naseby, recuperating under the watchful eye of the mending-est lady in Essex. And Luce is much occupied with his own budding friendship with enigmatic Trooper Gray, and a future after the war that doesn't involve killing. Love, in both likely and unlikely places. Death. Bubonic plague. An epic poem about the battle of Marston Moor. Blood, fire, politics, intrigue, and ember tart. It'll all end in tears.... possibly.

About the Author Writer, mad cake lady, re-enactor, historian. Been slightly potty about the clankier side of Ironside for around 20 years, and lists amongst my heroes in this unworthy world Sir Thomas Fairfax, Elizabeth Cromwell and John Webster (for his sense of humour.) When not purveying historically-accurate cake to various re-enactment groups across the country, M.J. Logue can usually be discovered practising in her garden with a cavalry backsword.

Heart and guts in the midst of war By Anna B This is the third book in the aptly named series “An uncivil war”, and yet again Ms Logue transports the reader back to an England that is torn apart between Royalist and Parliamentarian troops. It is bloody and muddy, there is death and gore, pestilence and tragedy – but side by side with this there is love and charity, hope and joy, albeit like small nuggets of gold in an otherwise dark description of a war fought for principles but in which most principles somehow got lost.Hollie Babbitt is a wonderful protagonist. A man who initially sold his sword to the highest bidder in the English conflict, he is also possessed of a strong sense of right and wrong, a man capable of compassion towards the so called Malignants, seeing little difference between himself and the people he is supposed to hate. Having had the word of God literally beaten into him as a child, he can quote Scripture with the best, but in difference to some of the more straitlaced among his companions he does not necessarily take bible verses as being God’s truth – however much of a contradiction that is.Hollie is surrounded by a colourful supporting cast, their common denominator being that they are like most of us, more interested in surviving to live a life than in dying for a cause they no longer are quite as enthused by. The New Model Army is growing increasingly intolerant, and those Parliamentarians that disagree with some of the harsher measures find themselves ostracized or threatened into obedience. Historical figures such as Tom Fairfax and Noll Cromwell pop up, Prince Rupert is subjected to a gloriously amusing character assassination, but it is Hollie’s band of companions that carry the story forward – war as perceived by those who fought and died in it.Other than fighting men, this book has its fair share of women and children, of horses that go by names such as Blossom and Pig. We have an absolutely wonderful sequence involving a kitten (and how Hollie misses his little companion once Fairfax has decided to confiscate it), there is the vibrant little Thomazine, all of two and already firmly in control of the men in her life, and then there is Het, Hollie’s beloved wife who has a heart the size of an oil-tanker – fortunately, given the number of people who queue up for a place in it.Ms Logue has a very distinctive style, a tongue-in-cheek approach to some of her descriptions that have me laughing out loud. She also makes me cry – and think. At times, the text could have done with a better editing (in particular by adding some more speech tags) but all in all this is a delightful – if at times emotionally difficult – read, with characters that spring to life with their feet firmly rooted in the mire of that most uncivil of wars, The English Civil War.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A Good Historical Read (ARC for Romance Reviews Magazine UK) By Nigella. This book came to my hands as an ARC for Romance Reviews Magazine UK.At first I did wonder if this novel would fit the criteria readers expect from a romance novel. On balance violent battle scenes steal a march on romance –to begin with– so does the heroic romanticism of a troop in Cromwell’s New Model Army. In spite of my initial concerns, glimmer of a budding romance does begin to emerge. The tragedy of this story develops with heartfelt love bordering on the breaking of religious dictate to do with acts of immorality, but every good story requires a twist in the tale and this book has many exciting twists. When all is said and done this is a novel to do with soldiers who yearn for peace while bracing themselves in readiness to do battle. There is historical merit and vivid detail within the novel and of all the characters, and there are many worthy of mention, Lucifer Pettit stands out as a fine young man who ends up bedevilled by his namesake. I confess I find it difficult to applaud overt use of coarse language inside a book boys may be drawn to. However, on the plus side the narrative is fast paced. The action scenes are nail-bitingly real and the secret masquerade is somewhat amusing. I rate the book a Historical Adventure Novel with a little romance. The narrative is strong and endears the reader to the well defined voices of each character.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. lovely story telling By Paul Bennett Let me start out this review by stating that I absolutely loved the first two books in the series and wondered if the author would continue to elicit my love in book number 3. It is the opinion of this humble, yet somewhat revered scribbler of reviews, that M.J. Logue has risen above the rather high expectations I had for Wilderness of Sin. This is a war story that, while it does provide excellent accounts of the battles and sieges, is more in the way of a delving into what makes people tick kind of a story. The author has given us wonderfully drawn characters, Hollie and the others who have been around from the beginning of the war are changing. Some are maturing, such as Thankful and Luce, some are more hardened, Fairfax, and some are relinquishing their irascible exterior, Hollie. Regardless of the changes, the character development is what makes this book sing. I think the best chapter in the book has nothing to do with the war, in fact it takes place in Het's garden as Thankful or Hapless or Apple, as he is called by a precocious toddler, and the self same toddler engage in eating bugs. It is a chapter I would loved to have written myself. :-) 5 stars without a doubt.
