Audio review

The first review on Audible is up for SOLDIER OF FORTUNE (I): THE WOLF CUB, narrated by the very dashing and talented Nick Denton. Slightly odd at first to hear my work read out by a different 'voice', but interesting, and it's always good to have a satisfied customer...!

"I wish I knew more history and geography but the story is great. The story never wanes. As soon as a screen is done you're into the next, but not so fast to overwhelm. It reads like history. The touch of English accent sets the stage and is easy to listen to and brings a full story and characters to life."

Soldier of Fortune on audio

Soldier of Fortune (I): THE WOLF CUB is now available on audiobook, narrated by the very talented Nick Denton. First released on Kindle and paperback in 2016, the novel is currently available on Audible and will be available on iTunes and Amazon in the next few days.




1453 AD. The great city of Constantinople, last remnant of the once-mighty Roman Empire, falls to the Ottoman armies of Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror. An English knight named Sir John Page is taken prisoner by the Ottomans, and forced to entertain the Sultan with tales of the West. Page chooses to tell the story of his own long career as a soldier of fortune in France, Bohemia and the Italian city-states.  

Page’s tale begins in the year of Agincourt, Henry V’s famous victory over the French. As the bastard son of Thomas Page, a famous mercenary captain known as The Half-Hanged Man or The Wolf of Burgundy, Page soon acquires the nickname of The Wolf Cub. After slaying his cousin in a duel, Page flees his home and joins a band of outlaws in the forests of Sussex. At last - tired of the brutality of his companions - he decides to leave England and join the English army in Normandy. There he endures brutal sieges, vicious combats, torture, betrayal and imprisonment, all to win glory and redeem his father's name.  

Trapped in the Sultan’s prison, Page must hope his story is enough to save him from the executioner’s blade....at least for another three days...
