'I see flashes of brilliance that surpass Bernard Cornwell' The Bookbag. 'The 100 Years' War is the new Rome for historical adventure novels' Ben Kane. '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.

I see flashes of brilliance that surpass Bernard Cornwell' The Bookbag. 'Extremely exciting ... Its pace rarely pauses. But above all else it is steeped in blood, rage and grief of war.

'The 100 Years' War is the new Rome for historical adventure novels' Ben Kane. 'I see flashes of brilliance that surpass Bernard Cornwell' The Bookbag. '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' Sharon Penman.
