The action is violent, intense and at times, frightening. Brilliantly written, I can't recommend these books enough. Peter Gibbons is definitely right up there with the best. - <em>Reader Review</em></p> <p>Epic, brutal action, a flawed hero defending his people while fighting his own demons, implacable ruthless invaders, treacherous nobles, Warrior and Protector has them all'- <em>Matthew Harffy</em></p> <p>5.0 out of 5 stars In one word to sum up ' Mesmerising!' <em>Reader Review</em></p> <p>Bloody and brutal, everything you want from a novel about 10th century England. Peter's vivid writing really brings the story to life. - <em>Donovan Cook</em></p> <p>As good as any in this genre. Fast paced with good action passages. Strong characters, well described. This stands comparison with the best from Cornwell or any other. - <em>Reader Review</em></p> <p>A superbly atmospheric tale of redemption that pitches the English against Viking raiders and resounds with the fierceness of battle-hardened warriors' - <em>MJ Porter</em></p> <p>Another cracking read. The second in this new series covering the years leading to the Viking conquest of England is another gripping page-turner. - <em>Reader Review</em></p> <p>Thunderously atmospheric! Gibbons once again proves himself a master of Viking &amp; Dark Age lore. - <em>Gordon Doherty</em></p> <p>Awesome. There are so many books on vikings and how they took the fight to the Saxons, there has never been one on a warrior and his people he loves, bring more I can't stop reading them&amp;a</p>
