What is Matchlock?

If you weren't aware, Matchlock is a historical fiction series set during the Thirty Years' War. 

The story begins in 1622, at the beginning of the most destructive war in European history - until the twentieth century that is! 

It follows the exploits and adventures of Dorset native Matthew Lock; an absolute pro when it comes to working the matchlock musket, and talking himself out of (and in to) trouble. 

Lock's quest to learn the truth about his family, and the sinister conspiracy that shadows his every move, will take him all over Europe, and bring him face to face with the most fascinating characters of the seventeenth century! 

Fans of historical fiction, political intrigue and mystery thrillers would be mad to miss out!
