The eighth gripping adventure in David Gilman's critically acclaimed Master of War series set in fourteenth-century Europe.

Bordeaux, 1367. Having angered the bloodthirsty Don Pedro, King of Castile, Sir Thomas Blackstone is thoroughly sick of his mission for the Prince of Wales, but must remain true to his oath.

But this is the Hundred Years' War, and tensions are rising once more. With the Prince of Wales deeply unpopular in his Aquitanian lands, Blackstone, King Edward's Master of War, must return to French soil to help stem the tide of support for the King of France.

Meanwhile, Henry, Blackstone's son, faces an incognito ride across France with his own motley band of outlaws and mercenaries. But the French are aware of the younger Blackstone's journey, and see a perfect way to target the Master of War.

Fantastic Series

Love the writing, love the reader and that is so important. I will say that I think the writer needs to back off Thomas being so hard on Henry. Henry needs to stand in the line of battle and win his spurs. He would be a fantastic addition as one of Thomas Captains. (You reading this David?)

Great

I have waited until I finished the entire series or at least what's avaliable, before reviewing it. All I can say is wow. The adventures of The Blackstones has been the best rollercoaster I've ever experienced. The depth of historical research that went into them is breath taking in its throughness and the weaving in of the fictional story was masterfully done.

wow

These books got better with each installment, and though this one had perhaps less action and adventure than some others, it was a great lot of fun. I've been without these characters for a couple years now, it seems, so it was nice to hear from them again. The ending was perfect. It felt as if the author couldn't let him go, couldn't deal with the prospect of never writing him again, so he left an ellipsis. Gildart Jackson is the only narrator for these characters, so it was so exciting to see him come back to do this last one.

Winning Capstone to the Series

Please bring on more stories. I want Thomas to find love and for Henry to grow into his own skin.

I love me some Blackstone.
