Description:

The year: 1587; the place: England; the mission: to save Elizabeth I, England's glorious queen. The second Jack Christie adventure finds our schoolboy hero travelling back in time to foil the plot to assassinate Elizabeth I. Meeting famous figures such as Marlowe and Shakespeare along the way, Jack and Angus must thwart the Revisionists and protect Queen Elizabeth's throne. "Day of Deliverance has been fun to write, because it was such an incredible time in history. The English Renaissance was a period of great artistic creativity, political and religious change and new worlds were being discovered for the first time. Jack and Angus experience all this and more..."
