DESCRIPTION
(Previously titled Blood Forest) PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED UNDER THE TITLE BLOOD FOREST
'A BLOODY PAGE-TURNER' Mail on Sunday
For fans of Bernard Cornwell, Simon Scarrow, Ben Kane and Conn Iggulden, a spectacular debut where honour and duty, legions and tribes clash in bloody, heart-breaking glory .
____________
AD 9. Fifteen thousand battle-hardened Roman legionaries strike deep into dense forest. Awaiting them are deadly, hostile Germanic tribes. In a clearing they find twelve massacred and strung-up legionaries.
Is this a threat, or a warning?
There is just one bloodied, broken survivor. He has no idea who he is. Only that he is a soldier.
And now he must fight. As the legions are mercilessly cut down, the nameless soldier joins a small band of survivors trapped in the forest. If they fight together they have a slim chance of staying alive.
But whose side is the soldier on? And is it the right one?
_____________
'Blood and guts, but also a clever exploration of the moral ambiguity of war and loyalty to a flag' Mail on Sunday

'Historical fiction written by a real war veteran who knows all there is to know about blood and bonding in battle. An earthy and powerful read' Sport
