Master of War (2013)
(Master of War, book 1)
David Gilman
"I'm totally bedazzled. I'd never thought that another writer could rival Bernard Cornwell when it came to dramatizing battles, but David is giving him a real run for his money. The battle scenes are so realistic it is almost like time-traveling, though definitely not for the faint of heart. Thomas is an incredibly appealing and sympathetic character. And the level of suspense is ratcheted up to a truly brutal level, for it is impossible for a reader to predict what will be coming next."
Lies Told In Silence (2014)
M K Tod
"Dramatically depicts the horror and heartbreak of war, while also celebrating the resilience of the human spirit."
