The Dead Men

The Dead Men - the sequel to The Silver Wolf - picks up Jack Fiskardo's story as he returns to Germany in 1630 with the invading Swedish army. Friends and enemies, old and new, await him - but so does the relentless fulfilment of Jack's own destiny, and with it, an almost impossible choice.

Summer 1630. The Swedish army is fighting its way down through Germany, with Jack Fiskardo and his company of scouts, or 'discoverers', engaged in guerrilla warfare ahead of the main advance.

There are new allies to be made, new perils to overcome, new enemies to outwit, and new adventures to pursue. But there is also a fortune for the taking, a mystery to be solved, and a destiny to fulfil—one that will see Jack brought face-to-face at last with his sworn enemy, Carlo Fantom.

In the wintry forests of Bohemia, that destiny will present Jack with an almost impossible choice—does he pursue his final vengeance, or does he turn aside to help a child as helpless as he once was himself?

The Dead Men by J. C. Harvey takes you on a riveting journey filled with adventure, intrigue, and the ultimate test of loyalty and courage.

About the Author

J. C. Harvey is the fiction pen-name for Jacky Colliss Harvey. After studying English at Cambridge, and History of Art at the Courtauld Institute of Art, Jacky worked in museum publishing for twenty years, first at the National Portrait Gallery and then at the Royal Collection Trust, where she set up the Trust's first commercial publishing programme. The extraordinary history of the Thirty Years War (1618-48) and of 17th-century Europe has been an obsession of hers for as long as she can remember. She made her fiction debut with THE SILVER WOLF in 2022, a historical novel described by Tracy Chevalier as 'superb storytelling'.
