A hero's journey begins in an exhilarating new series by Griff Hosker. In 1335 the Black Death was just thirteen years away from England but there were other threats and dangers. Young John Hawkwood is forced to leave his home and seek a life in London. There he learns how to survive and, more importantly, how to fight. Leaving his life as an apprentice tailor he follows the army and King Edward to fight the Scots. He has a skill; he can not only use a bow, but he can use a sword and his mind. This is just the start for John Hawkwood who will become, in the fullness of time, one of the greatest condottiere the world has ever seen, a man who, at the Battle of Castagnaro in 1387, shows the world that he was a great leader, too.

En fantastisk äventyrsroman med typ autenticitet vad gäller militär beskrivning och framför allt denna tidens supervapen långbågen och dessa män som vigt sitt liv åt soldatens livsstil. Boken är nästan i klass med Azincourt av Bernard Cornwell. Superbra uppläsare och tempo som har förmågan att hålla dig intresserad rätt igenom.

Stiltingly written and read. Protagonist is way too good at everything (and never fails to let us know how strong he is) including giving a ship's captain tips on sailing despite being a land dweller and about 14 years old. For someone who is a self described warrior, sticks his sword into the ground way too often. There is a better written series almost identical in layout to this story that is much better written ('master' something?)
