A LEGEND FORGED IN BATTLE: Amid the carnage of the 100 Years' War - the bloodiest conflict in medieval warfare - a young English archer confronts his destiny.
David Gilman enjoyed many careers – including firefighter, paratrooper and photographer – before turning to writing full time. He is an award-winning author and screenwriter.
I'm totally bedazzled. I'd never thought that another writer could
rival Bernard Cornwell when it came to dramatizing battles, but
David is giving him a real run for his money. The battle scenes are
so realistic it is almost like time-traveling, though definitely
not for the faint of heart. Thomas is an incredibly appealing and
sympathetic character. And the level of suspense is ratcheted up to
a truly brutal level, for it is impossible for a reader to predict
what will be coming next

The 100 Years' War is the new Rome for historical adventure
novels

Page-turning and gritty
*Daily Mail*
If you only read one historical debut this year, make it this one.
The prose is sharper than a bodkin arrow, the pace faster than
thought and it was a book I just couldn't put down
*Falcata Times*
Like a punch from a mailed fist, MASTER OF WAR gives a true taste
of the Hundred Years War. It is a gripping chronicle of pitched
battle, treachery and cruelty. The stench and harshness of medieval
life is ever present
*Robert Fabbri, bestselling author of the Vespasian series*
