Anthony Riches

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.

Anthony Riches recommends

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

Blood Forest (2017)
(Blood Forest, book 1)
Geraint Jones
"Gives Rome's legionaries a contemporary voice - this is brutal, audacious and fast paced writing."
