Description
The Judge Hunter by Christopher Buckley In 1664, London is once again under the rule of Charles II, twenty years after the English revolution. A new era has begun, but for one young man, Baltasar "Balty" St. Michel, it brings only uncertainty and desperation. With no skills or employment, Balty relies on his brother-in-law Samuel Pepys for handouts. Pepys offers Balty a chance to start anew in the New World, where he is tasked with tracking down two missing judges who played a key role in the execution of Charles I. As Balty travels through colonial America, he encounters a complex web of characters, including fundamentalist Puritans, saintly Quakers, warring tribes of Indians, and rogues of every stripe. Buckley's witty prose brings to life the bawdy court of Charles II, the strict Puritan rule in Boston, and the early days of New Amsterdam. With its blend of adventure, comedy, political intrigue, and romance, The Judge Hunter is a smart and swiftly plotted novel that transports readers to a new world.
