Crécy: The Age of the Archer

Sir John Hawkwood, Book 1

De: Griff Hosker

Narrado por: Marston York

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.

Well read, easy listen

The plot is too simple. There is no clear antagonist and you can count on things going right for the characters.

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.

Algo de Historia y entretenimiento

Esta bien la historia, aburre un poco pero esta interezante como sube de nivel el protagonista.

Plot

The story is well written, though a tad slow at first it definitely picks up. My only complaint is the narrator talks a tad quiet and I’m hard of hearing so at times it was a struggle.

Excellent storyline

Career progression is credible, action -packed, yet he's human, with weaknesses and strengths. Narrator is excellent, easy to understand enunciation and different voices for different characters.
