Go with God and Fight Like the Devil. A fascinating hero and the
pursuit of a sword with mythical power - this is the remarkable new
novel by Britain's master storyteller, which culminates at the
Battle of Poitiers in 1356. The Hundred Years War rages on and the
bloodiest battles are yet to be fought. Across France, towns are
closing their gates, the crops are burning and the country stands
alert to danger. The English army, victorious at the Battle of
Crecy and led by the Black Prince, is invading again and the French
are hunting them down. Thomas of Hookton, an English archer known
as Le Batard, is under orders to seek out the lost sword of St
Peter, a weapon said to grant certain victory to whoever possesses
her. As the outnumbered English army becomes trapped near the town
of Poitiers, Thomas, his men and his sworn enemies meet in an
extraordinary confrontation that ignites one of the greatest
battles of all time.
