A book club, The Argonauts, is a group of Oxfordshire women with all but one of them in their late autumn years. Nothing could have prepared them for their greatest adventure of all. A scientific experiment at Harwell Science Centre goes awry, with the outcome that a huge unknown energy wave engulfs the ladies at a summer's eve party and throws them into a different era.

It’s England’s civil war, 1644, and King Charles 1st has established his parliament in Oxford City. The Argonauts have been hurled into the middle of conflict as Cromwell’s forces clash with Royal Cavaliers. They become embroiled in a deadly combat, a few old dears against a well-armed, highly-trained army.

This is the 4th book in this series, and it's better read and understood after reading the first three. Sex, mystery, humour, and horror combine to fascinate readers with a story refreshingly original.
