Dogs trilogy from bestselling historian Dan Jones - available to

the authority of his scholarly history.' PHILIPPA GREGORY AN ENDLESS
WAR. A BLOOD-SOAKED BATTLEFIELD. A BAND OF BROTHERS. 1347. After a
bloody battle at Crécy, the Essex Dogs pick through the wreckage of
the fighting – and their own lives. Now the Dogs are sent to attack
the soaring walls of Calais where a new siege is beginning. To get
home, they must survive in a lawless camp that is deadlier than any
battlefield. Obsessed with finding the Captain, Loveday is losing
control of his men. Romford is haunted by a horrific figure from his
past. And Scotsman is spiralling into a pit of drink, violence and
self-pity. The Dogs are being torn apart – but this war is far from
over. It won't be long before they lose more of their own… From a
vast siege camp built outside Calais' walls into the darkest corners
of oligarchs' houses inside a starving city, this captivating and
darkly comic story brings the fourteenth century vividly to life. A
must-read for fans of Bernard Cornwell and Conn Iggulden. 'Absolutely
fabulous. A raucous, swaggering charge through the medieval
underworld. I had such a good time reading it that I never wanted it
to stop.' ANTONIA FRASER 'Wolves of Winter is a horrible joy to read:
horrible because of the vivid, random bloodshed, and a joy because of
the easy authenticity of his prose... If you've ever enjoyed a Ridley
Scott film, go and buy this book!' ALICE WINN 'Recalls Hilary Mantel's
Wolf Hall novels with its masterly control, period details, and
understated humor.' KIRKUS STARRED REVIEW 'Dan Jones tackles The
Hundred Years' War and puts faces and personalities, drug habits and
fighting in an urgent light. I feel like I'm there . . . Simply
stunning.' DUFF McKAGAN, New York Times No1 bestselling author of It's
So Easy, and founder member of Guns N' Roses 'Finding hints of light
amid the darkness of war, Wolves of Winter captures the humanity at
the heart of our history.' DR MICHAEL LIVINGSTON 'Wolves of Winter is
another brilliant book by Dan Jones. I'm constantly amazed at how
prolific Dan is, and also how he keeps his standards so high.' CHARLES
SPENCER 'Nobody but Dan Jones could write this story... It captures
the grime, blood, sweat and friendship of medieval war brilliantly.'
GARETH RUSSELL 'An enthralling, captivating, and thrilling
chronicle... Truly wonderful and truly fascinating!' GENERAL DAVID
PETRAEUS Praise for Essex Dogs: 'Reminds me of Cornwell at his best.'
CONN IGGULDEN 'This is the Hundred Years' War as directed by Oliver
Stone with a historian's eye for detail' ELODIE HARPER
