About this listen

The eighth gripping adventure in David Gilman's critically acclaimed Master of War series set in fourteenth-century Europe.

Bordeaux, 1367. Having angered the bloodthirsty Don Pedro, King of Castile, Sir Thomas Blackstone is thoroughly sick of his mission for the Prince of Wales, but must remain true to his oath.

But this is the Hundred Years' War, and tensions are rising once more. With the Prince of Wales deeply unpopular in his Aquitainian lands, Blackstone, King Edward's Master of War, must return to French soil to help stem the tide of support for the King of France.

Meanwhile, Henry, Blackstone's son, faces an incognito ride across France with his own motley band of outlaws and mercenaries. But the French are aware of the younger Blackstone's journey, and see a perfect way to target the Master of War.

It took a while to think where we were and to catch up, but once all the familiar characters and the continuing theme were re-established in my head I was away with Sir Thomas and his men. Brilliant stuff as always. There're only a few books, stories, characters and authors that leave you wanting for more, and the Kings Master of War is one of them. I can't wait until the next thrilling installment.

Always left wanting more
