"The usual splendid stuff from the master of historical battle." "Cornwell is notably effective in bringing to life an age of faith and how much religion is simply taken for granted when it becomes an integral part of society." First lineOn a winter's day in 1413, just before Christmas, Nicholas Hook decided to commit murder. Publisher's note"A tale inspired by the legendary battle of Agincourt finds the ""band of brothers"" rallying against disease, hunger, and formidable weather around longbowman Nicholas Hook, who in spite of his outlaw status fights for his country and the woman he loves. 200,000 first printing." AnnotationThe acclaimed master of medieval warfare is in top form here, as Bernard Cornwell documents the unfathomable brutality of one of the most famous battles in English history. The events are filtered through the eyes of protagonist Nicholas Hook, who, like the rest of the English army, has been dispatched to France with the vague assignment to kill Frenchmen. The King is Henry V, and he has claimed the throne of France by "divine right," thus playing God and sending thousands of men (and many women) to their gruesome demise. As the adrenalin and rage of the warriors intensifies, so does Cornwell's writing, until the final battle scene emerges as a sensational, full-bodied (and full-bloodied) experience.
