Summary

England, 1346. For Thomas Blackstone the choice is easy - dance on the end of a rope for a murder he did not commit, or join the king's invasion. As he fights his way across Northern France, Blackstone learns the brutal lessons of war.

Vastly outnumbered, Edward III's army will finally confront the armoured might of the French nobility on the field of Crécy. It is a battle that will change the history of warfare.

Critic reviews

"I see flashes of brilliance that surpass Bernard Cornwell." ( The Bookbag)
"Page turning novel...a gritty book sparing nothing in its descriptions of the realities of Medieval warfare." ( Daily Mail)

New Sheriff in town !!

well It's official. Bernard Cornwell is hanging by his finger tips to the No. 1 slot and that's through loyalty. This series can only be described as superb in the telling, the characters and most of all in the writtig. Next please!!

Outstanding

Couldn't wait for this one. And as usual it didn't disappoint. The Blackstone character has developed and there are new ones to enjoy as well as the usual plot twists. Great read highly recommended.
