Worth the listen

Great story telling with out being cheesy loved it. If you like Bernard Cromwell give this a shot.

Short but we'll paced

Rarely does an author find such a great balance of historical accuracy and great pacing. I wish this and the sequel were one book, but I am so pleased I will buy that one as well. Dear author if you read this, thank you for not diminishing the protagonist star by muddy the waters with immorality, and thank you for being respectful of piety of people at that time instead of taking the well trodden disdainful view of all religion.

the tale included family and friends

I very much enjoyed that in-depth description of fellow friends and family members their feelings and their strengths and weaknesses as well as the hero
