Paul Daneman

Robert Merivel abandons his studies to revel in gluttony, indolence and buffoonery at the Court of King Charles II. He is banished from Court after falling in love with the youngest royal mistress.

A web of violence and treachery is woven from a sinister Scottish stronghold, to the nuclear submarines trawling beneath the Arctic ice cap, and a secretive London college of war studies.  Book 6 of series.
