AN ENDLESS WAR. A BLOOD-SOAKED BATTLEFIELD. A BAND OF BROTHERS
1347. Bruised and bloodied by an epic battle at Crécy, six
soldiers of fortune known as the Essex Dogs pick through the
wreckage of the fighting – and their own lives. Now a new siege
is beginning, and the Dogs are sent to attack the soaring walls of
Calais. King Edward has vowed no Englishman will leave France til
this city falls. To get home, they must survive a merciless winter
in a lawless camp deadlier than any battlefield. Obsessed with
tracking down the vanished Captain, Loveday struggles to control
his own men. Romford is haunted by the reappearance of a horrific
figure from his past. And Scotsman is spiralling into a pit of
drink, violence and self-pity. The Dogs are being torn apart –
but this war is far from over. It won’t be long before they lose
more of their own… From a vast siege camp built outside Calais'
walls, to pirate ships patrolling the harbour, and finally into the
darkest corners of oligarchs’ houses inside a starving city, this
captivating and darkly comic story brings the fourteenth century
vividly to life. A searing tale about merchants, money and the
medieval ‘deep state’, this is a must-read for fans of Bernard
Cornwell and Conn Iggulden. Praise for Essex Dogs: 'Oddly joyous
– rolling action, fast-paced, a book that draws you in page by
page. The way Dan Jones writes enemies reminds me of Cornwell at
his best, turning up tension click by click.' CONN IGGULDEN 'A
testosterone fuelled, blood soaked rampage across the Middle Ages,
this is the Hundred Years' War as directed by Oliver Stone with a
historian's eye for detail' ELODIE HARPER 'A new champion has
entered the front line of historical fiction to stand shoulder to
shoulder with Bernard Cornwell.' JANE JOHNSON 'Battle-bloody,
brutal and perfectly pitched.' DAILY MAIL 'With a cast of
unforgettable characters, written with irrepressible verve.' SIMON
