Master of war

England, 1346: For Thomas Blackstone the choice is easy - dance on the end of a rope for a murder he did not commit, or take up his war bow and join the king's invasion. As he fights his way across northern France, Blackstone learns the brutal lessons of war - from the terror and confusion of his first taste of combat, to the savage realities of siege warfare. Vastly outnumbered, Edward III's army will finally confront the armoured might of the French nobility on the field of Crecy. It is a battle that will change the history of warfare, a battle that will change the course of Blackstone's life, a battle that will forge a legend.

  • "The Black Prince has launched a devastating raid deep into France, laying waste to everything in his path. In response, the French have mustered an army that outnumbers the English forces 10 to 1 and and are determined to drive their hated foe from the land after years of bloody conquest. Sir Thomas Blackstone, the British archer knighted on the field of Crecy, has used the intervening years to forge his own war band and has hacked out his own fiefdom in central France. He knows the English are outnumbered, outmanoeuvred and exhausted...but that will not stop him from fighting his way to one of history's greatest military victories. But the field of battle is not only arena in which Blackstone will have to fight for his life...Although Poitiers was a great victory for the English its aftermath will cost Blackstone dear."
  • "Wanneer in 1346 de Engelse koning Edward III de tijd rijp acht om het Kanaal over te steken en Frankrijk binnen te vallen, wordt een eenvoudige metselaar tegen zijn wil als boogschutter bij het leger ingelijfd."
