Winter, 1364.

The King is dead.

Defeated on the field of Poitiers, Jean Le Bon, King of France, honored his treaty with England until his death. His son and heir, Charles V, has no intention of doing the same. War is coming and the predators are circling.

Sir Thomas Blackstone, Edward III's Master of War, has been tasked with securing Brittany for England. In the throes of battle, he rescues a young boy, sole witness to the final living breaths of the Queen of Castile. The secret the boy carries is a spark deadly enough to ignite conflict on a new front-a front the English cannot afford to fight on.

So Blackstone is ordered south to Castile, across the mountains to shepherd Don Pedro, King of Castile, to safety. Accompanied only by a small detachment of his men and a band of Moorish cavalrymen loyal to the king, every step takes Blackstone further into uncertain territory, deeper into an unyielding snare.

For the Master of War, the shadow of death is always present.

This is some fine writing. Storytelling at its best. Each book is better than the last one. Can’t wait for the next one in February. Written by an amazing author who knows how to spin a yarn. Each character is so fully flushed out. Couldn’t be more amazing. LOVE… LOVE… L-O-V-E this series!!!!! So glad I found it :)

Just Keeps Getting Better!

Master of War is one of the most entertaining series I’ve come across in this genre. With unique storylines and unforgettable characters, it’s easy to understand why.

Gilbert Jackson’s performance delivers in all the best ways. It’s a perfect match. Having tried the new narrator in the latest #8 when his version wasn’t available, it just wasn’t the same.
Hoping we get more from this cast of characters. Either way, I’ll enjoy this series for years to come.

Highly Entertaining

This is an incredible series, one of the best Middle Ages novels out there. Great principal character, excellent supporting characters and full of blood and battle. When’s the next one?!

Much better narration

This is by far one of my favorite historical fiction series. Blackstone is a well developed character who has a company of colorful companions to accompany him on his adventures. David Gilman also does us a favor by creating the most unlikeable villains I have come across. After each novel, I ask myself how the next antagonist can be more or equally as unlikable as the last and each time my question is answered with a, “this is how!”

Another Great Addition to the Series

All of the Thomas Blackstone novels have been 5 stars. This newest one does not disappoint. I do enjoy Gildart Jackson’s narration.

Another great novel to this amazing series.

I've enjoyed the series from beginning to end. The only disappointment was when this title was first released with a different narrator. I got through it and decided to stop listening to the series. I was pleasantly surprised to see it released again with the original narrator. Enjoyed it! Now I'm looking forward to the next one.

Much better Gildart Jackson back as the narrator!
