Campbell's Reivers

The Brigade fights in the Low Countries of Flanders, Zeeland and Holland, and young Campbell must leave his hills and glens to fight for the faltering cause of William of Orange/Nassau against the might of His Most Catholic Majesty, King Phillip II of Spain. Young Alex, having just found the love of his life, is forced to sail for Flanders, leaving her behind, while he goes to face a dangerous and uncertain future...Grant, Neil is the author of 'Campbell's Reivers ', published 2006 under ISBN 9781847539151 and ISBN 1847539157.
