Resumen del Editor

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.

impressive

loved this book. I was hooked from the first paragraph. I can't wait to start the next book. I highly recommend this read.

Great story delivered perfectly

I could not stop listening. This is a great story. The narator was excelent in his delivery.

Great storyline and we'll read

I really enjoyed this book and it is well read. if I had a criticism it would be that it is a little bit short.

A good read

This is a book that audible had recommended to me and I would highly recommend it to anyone else, who has any interest in archers during the middle ages.

A good adventure story

I enjoyed the story and the ride of the adventure. My only issue was the way in which the author continually described the main character in such a cocky way. I found myself rolling my eyes and waiting for the story to begin again. Don’t get me wrong, I liked the book!
But nobody is that perfect and that part fell flat for me.
I loved the adventure and maybe that’s what it’s about.

Griff Hosker’s the man

I have read most of Griff’s books. I am going through them a second time in order. I am listening to the short series on audiobooks and am enjoying them also.

Another Great Series

Gritty, great characters, and good story. When I want to read/listen to a sure bet, I pick up one of the many books by this author. John Hawkwood's story is immersed in England's longbow history. The narrator is excellent.

Fun, Fast Paced, Action Ride

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. Great historical fiction always makes the fact and fiction hard to tell apart, and Crecy is no exception. I look forward to the rest of the series.

Crecy

Enjoyed this book! Starting the next in the series. Narration was excellent. Even if a book is really good, having a good narrator is crucial to the success of an audible book.

Great Start

this book had a strong storyline, strong characters, and great narration. I'm very exited for the next installment!
