Critics Review
Praise for Anthony Riches - :
A masterclass in military historical fiction - Sunday ExpressA master of the genre - The TimesThis is fast-paced and gripping “read-through-the-night” fiction, with marvellous characters and occasional moments of dark humour. Some authors are better historians than they are storytellers. Anthony Riches is brilliant at both.A damn fine read … fast-paced, action-packed.Stands head and shoulders above a crowded field … real, live characters act out their battles on the northern borders with an accuracy of detail and depth of raw emotion that is a rare combination.About The Author
