Globally bestselling historian Dan Jones makes his historical fiction debut with Essex Dogs, the explosive first instalment in an epic new trilogy set during the Hundred Years War.

July 1346. The Hundred Years' War has begun, and King Edward and his lords are on the march through France. But this war belongs to the men on the ground.

Swept up in the bloody chaos, a tight-knit company from Essex must stay alive long enough to see their home again. With sword, mace and longbow, the Essex Dogs will fight, from the landing beaches of Normandy to the bloodsoaked field of Crécy.

There's Pismire, small enough to infiltrate enemy camps. Scotsman, strong enough to tear down a wall. Millstone, a stonemason who'll do anything to protect his men. Father, a priest turned devilish by the horrors of war. Romford, a talented young archer on the run from his past. And Loveday Fitztalbot, their battle-scarred captain, who just wants to get his boys home safe.

Some men fight for glory. Others fight for coin. The Essex Dogs? They fight for each other.

Loved this book and after reading the print version and now listening on Audible I believe Dan Jones has knocked this out of the park with a tale that will go down in history alongside The Three Musketeers as a literary classic.

This an amazing book especially an amazing book on an historical subject. So realistic that sometimes it was gut wrenching but I finished the book and enjoyed it. I was very shocked at first by the amount of foul and vulgar language.but I realised that if you were living 24 hours a day every day I think that my language would become the same problaby worse and then some.
I t was so brutal.
