Anthony Riches began his lifelong interest in war and soldiers when he first heard his father's stories about World War II. This led to a degree in Military Studies at Manchester University. He began writing the story that would become Wounds of Honour after a visit to Housesteads in 1996. He lives in Hertfordshire with his wife and three children.

The Bone Fields (2023)

C F Barrington
"The moment you ask yourself if it could just be true, the story has you."

Shadow of the Eagle (2022)
(Borderlands , book 1)
Damion Hunter
"I only need one word to describe this stunning novel: masterful."

Clash of Empires (2018)
(Clash of Empires, book 1)
Ben Kane
"Exceptional. Kane's excelled once again in capturing the terror and the glory . . . of the ancient battlefield, and this story is one that's been begging for an expert hand for a long time."

The Child of Vengeance (2013)
(Samurai, book 1)
David Kirk
"The book I've been waiting for! Razor sharp samurai action coupled with a brutally realistic vision of life in sixteenth-century Japan, a real find."

Hawk Quest (2012)
Robert Lyndon
"An 11th-century epic with action to equal the best of Bernard Cornwell. THIS is writing."
