5/18/2023 0 Comments Essex Dogs by Dan Jones![]() ![]() The Essex Dogs are a bunch of what I can only describe as misfits, brought together as brothers in arms to fight, survive and hopefully make some money in the meantime. This being the first in the trilogy and Dan’s debut into historical fiction I couldn’t have been more excited and was not disappointed. I first fell in love with the history of the Templars through Dan’s work and have continued to be impressed with his work since. I partly hold Dan Jones responsible for my love of history. The Essex Dogs? They fight for each other. And Loveday FitzTalbot, their battle-scarred captain, who just wants to get his boys home safe. Romford, a talented young archer on the run from his past. Father, a priest turned devilish by the horrors of war. Millstone, a stonemason who’ll do anything to protect his men. Scotsman, strong enough to tear down a wall. There’s Pismire, small enough to infiltrate enemy camps. With sword, axe and longbow, the Essex Dogs will fight, from the landing beaches of Normandy to the bloodsoaked field of Crécy. Swept up in the bloody chaos, a tight-knit company from Essex must stay alive long enough to see their home again. But this war belongs to the men on the ground. The Hundred Years’ War has begun, and King Edward and his lords are on the march through France. I am honoured to be taking part in the wonderful blog tour for the debut fiction of Essex Dogs by the incredible Dan Jones! Firstly, I’d like to thank Aries Fiction/ Head of Zeus for the opportunity to be a part of the tour. ![]()
