A Tale of the Rise of the Dutch Republic

BY PIKE AND DYKE _ byG.A. Henty
It is the 1570's, and the people of the Netherlands live in terror under
the cruel dominion of Spain. Though many long to be free of Spanish
tyranny, efforts at rebellion are failing, and allies are nowhere to be
found. Edward “Ned” Martin, son of an English captain and a Dutch
lady, is thrust into the conflict when he resolves to help his mother's
people and avenge his murdered relatives. Entering the service of the
revolutionary leader William the Silent, Prince of Orange, Ned is
called upon to carry out dangerous secret missions deep within occu-
pied territory. Through hairbreadth escapes, fierce sea fights, terrify-
ing sieges, and daring rescues, Ned becomes a witness to the inspiring
and heartbreaking events of the rise of the Dutch republic.
