Opis
Opis
A convincing picture of hard men in a hard time, Dan Jones' - fiction rings with the authority of his scholarly history.' - PHILIPPA GREGORY
'Absolutely fabulous. A raucous, swaggering charge through the medieval underworld. I had such a good time reading it that I never wanted it to stop.' - ANTONIA FRASER
'Superb historical fiction as fresh, vivid and vital as this morning's headlines... proves once again that nothing really changes, be it a soldier's life - or great storytelling.' - LEE CHILD
AN ENDLESS WAR.
A BLOOD-SOAKED BATTLEFIELD.
A BAND OF BROTHERS.
1347. After a bloody battle at Crécy, the Essex Dogs pick through the wreckage of the fighting - and their own lives.
Now the Dogs are sent to attack the soaring walls of Calais where a new siege is beginning. To get home, they must survive in a lawless camp that is deadlier than any battlefield.
Obsessed with finding the Captain, Loveday is losing control of his men. Romford is haunted by a horrific figure from his past. And Scotsman is spiralling into a pit of drink, violence and self-pity.
The Dogs are being torn apart - but this war is far from over. It won't be long before they lose more of their own…
From a vast siege camp built outside Calais' - walls, to pirate ships patrolling the harbour, and finally into the darkest corners of oligarchs' - houses inside a starving city, this captivating and darkly comic story brings the fourteenth century vividly to life. A searing tale about merchants, money and the medieval 'deep state', this is a must-read for fans of Bernard Cornwell and Conn Iggulden.
'Wolves of Winter is a horrible joy to read: horrible because of the vivid, random bloodshed, and a joy because of the easy authenticity of his prose... If you've ever enjoyed a Ridley Scott film, go and buy this book!' - ALICE WINN
'Recalls Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall novels with its masterly control, period details, and understated humor.' - KIRKUS STARRED REVIEW
'Dan Jones tackles The Hundred Years' - War and puts faces and personalities, drug habits and fighting in an urgent light. I feel like I'm there . . . Simply stunning.' - DUFF McKAGAN, New York Times No1 bestselling author of It's So Easy, and founder member of Guns N' - Roses
'Finding hints of light amid the darkness of war, Wolves of Winter captures the humanity at the heart of our history.' - DR MICHAEL LIVINGSTON
'Wolves of Winter is another brilliant book by Dan Jones. I'm constantly amazed at how prolific Dan is, and also how he keeps his standards so high.' - CHARLES SPENCER
'Nobody but Dan Jones could write this story... It captures the grime, blood, sweat and friendship of medieval war brilliantly.' - GARETH RUSSELL
'An enthralling, captivating, and thrilling chronicle... Truly wonderful and truly fascinating!' - GENERAL DAVID PETRAEUS
