A proposito di questo titolo
 Bloomsbury presents Gate of the Dead by David Gilman, read by Colin Mace.

'A gripping chronicle of pitched battle, treachery and cruelty' ROBERT FABBRI.
Tuscany, 1358: Thomas Blackstone has built a formidable reputation in exile, fighting as a mercenary amid the ceaseless internecine warring of Italy's City States. But success has bred many enemies, and when a dying man delivers a message recalling him to England, it seems almost certain to be a trap. Yet Blackstone cannot disobey – the summons is at the Queen's demand.

On his journey, Blackstone will brave the terrors of the High Alps in winter, face the Black Prince in tournament, confront the bloody anarchy of a popular revolt and submit to trial by combat.

And every step of the way, he will be shadowed by a notorious assassin with orders to despatch him to Hell.©2015 David Gilman (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Di guerra e militare Medievale Narrativa di genere Narrativa storica

Recensioni della critica

I'm totally bedazzled. The suspense is ratcheted up to a truly brutal level – it is impossible for a reader to predict what will be coming next (Sharon Penman)
Page-turning and gritty
Gilman does heart pounding action superlatively
The 100 Years' War is the new Rome for historical adventure novels (Ben Kane)
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)
A very original and real picture of the time, no gloss of modern sensibility is added to this fantastic tale of personal growth in bloody times
