Resumen del Editor

The eighth gripping adventure in David Gilman's critically acclaimed Master of War series set in fourteenth-century Europe.

Bordeaux, 1367. Having angered the bloodthirsty Don Pedro, King of Castile, Sir Thomas Blackstone is thoroughly sick of his mission for the Prince of Wales, but must remain true to his oath.

But this is the Hundred Years' War, and tensions are rising once more. With the Prince of Wales deeply unpopular in his Aquitanian lands, Blackstone, King Edward's Master of War, must return to French soil to help stem the tide of support for the King of France.

Meanwhile, Henry, Blackstone's son, faces an incognito ride across France with his own motley band of outlaws and mercenaries. But the French are aware of the younger Blackstone's journey, and see a perfect way to target the Master of War.

Wow!!!!!!

Didn’t think this book could stand up to the previous ones in this series, but Holy Sh*t!!!! What adventures! Sir Thomas Blackstone! I hope Hollywood makes a movie on this gallant knight’s life!

I can’t wait for the next book.

I get totally immersed in the story. You can almost taste the smoke in the air. Can’t wait for the next installment of this series.

Another amazing Blackstone story

Another amazing book from David Gillman and fantastically narrated. My dog got a lot of extra walks so I could keep listening. Please keep these books coming!

Gripping story with an amazing performance

I’ve enjoyed every book of this series, and the reading of it is fantastic. No clue how the story teller can make so many voices, keep them straight and deliver with such authenticity and passion.

wow

I have waited until I finished the entire series or at least what's avaliable, before reviewing it. All I can say is wow. The adventures of The Blackstones has been the best rollercoaster I've ever experienced. The depth of historical research that went into them is breath taking in its throughness and the weaving in of the fictional story was masterfully done.

Winning Capstone to the Series

These books got better with each installment, and though this one had perhaps less action and adventure than some others, it was a great lot of fun. I've been without these characters for a couple years now, it seems, so it was nice to hear from them again. The ending was perfect. It felt as if the author couldn't let him go, couldn't deal with the prospect of never writing him again, so he left an ellipsis. Gildart Jackson is the only narrator for these characters, so it was so exciting to see him come back to do this last one.

Still love Blackstone

Previous to this book it felt as though Gilman was wrapping things up. We have at least one more coming.

character development.

I am a big fan of this series. I love the characters and how they interact with each other. this installment is action packed and tons of fun just like all the other master of war books. the story is fairly predictable but that isn't always a bad thing.

Everything stands out with this gifted author!!

There is only like / love for this story and all the previous books. I only hate when it ends.

and the saga continues as fresh as ever, with a cliff hanging ending!!

The narration was on point, the twists and turns of the plot were engaging. I could not stop listening. When is the next episode going to be available? I can't wait...
