of the Hundred Years War. It is a gripping chronicle of pitched
battle, treachery and cruelty. The stench and harshness of medieval

*Robert Fabbri, bestselling author of the Vespasian series*
The fourth novel in David Gilman's powerful and uncompromising
chronicle of the Hundred Years War... Viper's Blood an exciting,
bloody and well-written tale of Europe at a time of terrible
crisis... A fine addition to a series that continues to bring these
cruel years to life in such rich and meticulous detail'
*For Winter Nights*
Book Four in the Master of War series and the bone-crunching
intensity of this series shows no signs of abating... As ever David
Gilman provides us with a well-researched book set right in the
heart of the action of 1300's war-torn Europe... With Gilman's
writing, you can feel the ooze of the mud, the bite of the cold,
most of all you can feel the weight of the sword and armour, the
draw and weight of the bow and the rushing death of the arrow storm
and the disregard of mortality. But if you mistake this book and
series for just the hack of the sword you would be missing out on
so much more depth... A truly excellent book and part of an
excellent series'
