The author of historical books Dan Jones has been on my radar in recent years but I hadn't read any of his books until now. He writes both fiction and non-fiction and is very popular with both. He specializes in histories of the Middle Ages including the Crusades, the Templars and English monarchies. He also has been a presenter on several television shows on British history.
This novel, Essex Dogs, is his first non-fiction book and was a best seller and I enjoyed the book very much. It was a real page turner of historical fiction and the first novel of a trilogy about the beginning of the Hundred Years' War English invasion of France as seen through the exploits of a group of English mercenaries.
I'm really looking forward to reading the next book in the series... Wolves of Winter.
