An only child of Anglo-French descent, young James Bretherton has known a life of privilege; well-educated and mild mannered, his path is filled with promise. But when James suddenly finds himself orphaned and penniless, his future looks decidedly bleak. It is only when Fate intervenes in the guise of two English mercenaries, that James is given hope. Embarking on a new life as a soldier, he soon becomes embroiled in the religious war between Catholics and Protestants, The Empire and the German States; the war that was known as The Thirty Years war.

The character James was well done,my history knowledge of that era is more clear than ever.

How I perceived the time period, it was very believable.

I'm a big fan of historical fiction and Griff Hosker is one of my favorite authors in this genre. Solid story line with likable good guys and fiendishly evil bad guys but, with apologies to reader Nicholas Camm, there could be a lot more narrative enthusiasm. I'm not sure that I'll continue this series...

A Bit More Enthusiasm Please

The plot of the book is great as per usual with Griff Hosker but the delivery was very underwhelming compared to previous series.

Great story, subpar telling.
