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."

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."

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

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."
