When a bomb destroys the recently formed Special Irish
Branch of Scotland Yard, all fingers point to the
increasingly brazen factions of Irish dissidents seeking
liberation from English rule. Volunteering their services
to the British government, Barker and Llewelyn set out to
infiltrate a secret cell of the Irish Republican
Brotherhood known as the Invisibles. Posing as a reclusive
German bomb maker and his anarchist apprentice, they are
recruited for the group's ultimate plan: to bring London to
its knees and end the monarchy forever. Their adventures take them from a lighthouse on the craggy
coast of Wales to a Liverpool infested with radicals, and
even to the City of Light, where Llewelyn goes undercover
with Maire O'Casey, the alluring sister of an Irish
radical. Llewelyn again finds himself put to the test by
his enigmatic employer, studying the art of self-defense
and the brutal sport of hurling -- and, most dangerous of
all, being schooled in the deadly science of bomb making.
