Summary
A hero’s journey begins in an exhilarating new series by Griff Hosker.
In 1335 the Black Death was just 13 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.

Ripping yarn
Great tale, well narrated. Lovely range of accents from Marston York. Excellent way to pass 9 hours. Can’t wait for next instalment- will look out for other work by Griff Hosker.

Good story but woeful narration
Good story but poor narration verging on boring. Almost put me to sleep would like to read the rest of the series.

CRECY
A simply constructed story and well read. Although I have read many books on medieval history , I learned some interesting facts from this entertaining book. I thoroughly recommend it.

Read about Sir John Hawkswood . This story brings him to life.
loved the historical detail. 100 years war always my favourite period of history as it was when we became a country. This book more or less explains the start of the career of a normal working lad who became one of the 14th centuries most famous generals.
