This summary is not intended to substitute the original book, but to offer a concise overview and interpretation of its main ideas.

Act of Oblivion is a sweeping historical thriller set in the turbulent aftermath of the English Civil War. It follows the gripping manhunt for Edward Whalley and William Goffe, two of the most wanted men in the British Empire—regicides who signed the death warrant of King Charles I and vanished into the New World to escape retribution.
Their pursuer is Richard Nayler, a tireless agent of the Crown obsessed with justice—or perhaps vengeance. As Whalley and Goffe live as fugitives across the raw, unforgiving landscape of 17th-century America, Nayler’s pursuit becomes a shadow war of secrecy, loyalty, and relentless determination.
This is not just a chase through history—it’s a profound exploration of conviction, sacrifice, and the long reach of power. Told with masterful pacing and emotional depth, Act of Oblivion invites listeners to confront the question: when you’ve risked everything for your beliefs, what happens when the world moves on without you?
Perfect for fans of historical fiction, political intrigue, and stories of unshakable purpose.
