In 1683, the most dangerous man in the world escaped from England to the Netherlands.

Yet the King of England considered him one of his deadliest enemies. He was suspected of conspiring to assassinate Charles II. But what really made him a threat to the throne was not his skill in the lethal arts, but his genius in the literary arts.
In the hands of John Locke, the pen was truly mightier than the sword.
