Praise for THE ESSEX DOGS 'Wolves of Winter is a horrible joy to read: horrible because of the vivid, random bloodshed, and a joy because of the easy authenticity of his prose... If you've ever enjoyed a Ridley Scott film, go and buy this book!' ALICE WINN 'Dan Jones' fiction rings with the authority of his scholarly history.' PHILIPPA GREGORY '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 'This is the Hundred Years' War as directed by Oliver Stone with a historian's eye for detail.' ELODIE HARPER 'Battle-bloody, brutal and perfectly pitched.' DAILY MAIL
