Book
Hawkwood
First published 2016
John Hawkwood leaves the wars in France as an ambitious English soldier and enters the violent politics of fourteenth-century Italy. City-states and popes hire foreign companies to fight campaigns their own citizens cannot or will not sustain.
Hawkwood’s skill brings command of the White Company and contracts from rival powers, but mercenary success depends upon threat, plunder and rapid changes of allegiance. The novel follows his transformation from knight into one of Italy’s most feared military entrepreneurs.
