Scourge of Wolves

Master of War, Book 5

By: David Gilman

Narrated by: Gildart Jackson

Winter, 1361.

After two decades of conflict, Edward III has finally agreed a treaty with the captive French King, John II. In return for his freedom, John has ceded vast tracts of territory to the English. But for five long years mercenary bands and belligerent lords have fought over the carcass of his kingdom. They will not give up their hard-won spoils to honor a defeated king's promises.

If the English want their prize, they'll have to fight for it...Thomas Blackstone will have to fight for it.

As he battles to enforce Edward's claim, Thomas Blackstone will see his name blackened, his men slaughtered, his family hunted. He will be betrayed and, once again, he'll face the might of the French army on the field. But this time there will be no English army at his back. He'll face the French alone.

Love it.

Black stone is my new hero. You won't be disappointed. Well written and well narrated.

enjoy this one

Overall series is fantastic, however the narrator change for the next book absolutely destroys it. I simply cannot believe the sheer idiocy involved in that choice.

God's Tears! What were you thinking?!!

fantastic read

can't stop, great books, great narration and overall fantastic. almost finished the series and excited for the next!

The pace of the story, the vividness of the characters and the telling of the tale.

On a par with the tales of Bernard Cornwell.
I can't think of higher praise.

Favorite Series

Since I first came across this series a couple years ago, it has quickly become a personal favorite.

Thomas Blackstone, his “bastard horse” along with a variety of more memorable characters will keep you engrossed for endless hours of entertainment.

Over the years, Blackstone has become a trusted hand and knight to the King of England. However, the shattered French government and it’s depleted men of war have nothing but contempt for the renown English knight. Though he is revered by many, he is despised by his enemies. The French who will stop at nothing in pursuing Blackstone’s demise.

Blackstone is well known for his prowess in battle while often going above and beyond for his king. In this installment, he’s been tasked with securing the recently acquired towns in France for the King of England. This task often puts Blackstone and his men in danger. Whether it’s the townspeople refusing to submit, the French army or countless bands of displaced soldiers, this task requires strength and persistence. While Blackstone takes matters into his own hands, has he gone too far this time?

Extremely well-written with excellent narration by Gildart Jackson. I look forward to the next in series being released soon.. hoping.

A very riveting book

The book is good. It has humor, action, and romance with a twist. Worth the listen.

Great Adventure series

Love this series! Always takes me on a wild ride of fights, romance, deception,
bravery, and laughter.

I'm loving all of the Master of War series

I'm loving this entire series, and in particular the performance of the Gilbert Jackson who can make the characters come to life. I'm hooked for the entire journey and will listen to all the books and hope Gilbert Jackson continues to lend his talents to the story telling.
