In 1685, James, Duke of Monmouth, pretender to the throne, was defeated at the Battle of Sedgemoor, bringing to an end what was known as the Pitchfork Rebellion. It is generally accepted that his parents were not legally married at the time of his birth and therefore his claim to the throne was not valid… Suppose, just for a moment, that Monmouth’s claim was, in fact, true, his parents legally married… Suppose that one of his descendants, a rich and powerful man, devised a plan to avenge his ancestor and seize the throne of England. A man wealthy enough to possess his own army and powerful enough to set it up in England right under the nose of the authorities. How could such a man be stopped? How could such a plan even be detected? What sort of a man could be capable of foiling it?
It is said that momentous events are often determined by insignificant actions, chance meetings, casual remarks, being in the right or wrong place at the right or wrong time. Fortunately, Mike Logan, late of No. 22 Regiment, Special Air Service and now operating the Provincial Eye private inquiry agency, just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
Provincial Eye relates the story of how Mike Logan, together with a few of his ex-Regiment mates and the woman who once haunted his past, become involved in this dastardly plot and the desperate actions that have to be taken in order to prevent its success.
