Customer Reviews

Solid read, not Cornwell though

If you are a fan of historical fiction, this is a solid read. The book goes at a quick pace, plots are believable, the only draw back is, it reminds me of the Richard Sharpe Series by Bernard Cornwell. You have the Rogue officer the big sergant, the do or die missions plus the ever so hot damsel in trouble. Since the stories are 100 years before Sharpe, it truely informs about new weapons of the time, battle order, Honour and Glory are always abound.
