David Gilman recommends

Gunner (2025)
(Joseph Gunner, book 1)
Alan Parks
"A fabulous read. I loved every minute of it. Alan's storytelling pulls the reader in from page one. Wonderful, gutsy writing. Gunner is a tremendous character, as tough as a Glaswegian shipyard hammer."

The Serpent Sword (2015)
(Bernicia Chronicles, book 1)
Matthew Harffy
"Murder, betrayal and vengeance fuel tribal warfare and personal combat. Beobrand is the warrior to follow."
