"This dark, absurd, and subversive treasure lay hidden for many years, even after Bulgakov’s death, such was the fear of reprisal for such a pointed, authentic stab at life under the tyrannical malevolence of Uncle Joe and the withering Soviet climate of the time."

Book #5 in Michael Arnold's 'Civil War Chronicles', this picks up not long after then end of the previous ([b:Assassin's Reign|16281347|Assassin's Reign (Civil War Chronicles #4)|Michael Arnold|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1373968716s/16281347.jpg|22383365]), with Stryker and his men off to retrieve a treasure from the Scilly Islands for the cause of King and Country.

Of course, agents of Parliament are also after the same treasure.

Meanwhile, Stryker's friend Capt Lancelot Forester is also sent deep into Parliamenterian held country in order to shore up the will of an outpost that is still holding out for the king ...

Surviving shipwreck, imprisonment and torture, the two distinct plot strands (Stryker and the treasure/Forester' mission) eventually mesh at the defense of Basing House, in another enjoyable entry in the series.

This collection of short stories was alright. By far, my favorite was 'The Crimson Corsair and the Lost Treasure of Count Dooku'. While this is written for a younger audience, I didn't think it was a bad thing. 'High Noon on Jakku' was fairly good too, and I like reading more stories about Jakku.

Well this sequel of sorts sunk without a trace. A DVD release featuring a fairly well known cast. It doesn't really have any links to the first film other than the plot is similar. Set in Hawaii as some divers are hired for more than just treasure hunting. Not bad but nothing great either, shame as I loved the first film.
