Critics Review
‘The battle scenes are uncomfortably good… the research is impressive and the narrative vivid’
Captain Stryker … is being pushed as “the Sharpe of the civil war”, but Stryker is a character well able to attract readers on his own merits … The novel ends with the Battle of Hopton Heath in the spring of 1643. Many of the most famous engagements of the civil war are still to come, and the enigmatic Stryker’s involvement in them promises much entertainment - Sunday Times
A dark-hued romp, livid with the scents, sounds and colours of a country on the brink of implosion … impressive - Daily ExpressMichael Arnold’s Civil War Chronicles have the makings of a fun, Sharpe-like series - History TodayIf you love Sharpe, you’ll be knocked out by the 17th-century civil war adventures of Captain Innocent Stryker … at times this one-eyed veteran makes Sharpe look rather civilised - Peterborough Evening TelegraphArnold is at his best describing real events … if you like Cornwell you will like Arnold - Historical Novels ReviewHeart-thumping action … Arnold brings the English Civil War to colourful life - Lancashire Evening PostA thumping good read. With considerable skill, Arnold has reached back in time to create a living, breathing depiction of 17th century England. From his vividly described battle scenes to the richly drawn descriptions of everyday life, from the earthy vernacular of its characters to the precise details of military equipment, every last part of this book oozes authenticity. Fans of Cornwell’s Sharpe novels will love Captain Innocent Stryker - he’s uglier, meaner and cleverer than Sharpe. Tremendous! - Ben Kane, bestselling author of The Forgotten Legion ChroniclesA swashbuckling novel which I did not want to put down! Arnold’s series of ‘Stryker Chronicles’ are “must-haves” on my birthday and Christmas lists. Along with Cornwell, Samson and O’Brian, Arnold seems to have been an eye witness to the events he describes - BattlefieldAbout The Author
Michael Arnold
Michael Arnold lives in Hampshire with his wife and young son. His childhood holidays were spent visiting castles and battlefields, but his fascination with the civil wars was piqued partly by the fact that his hometown and region of Hampshire are steeped in civil war history.
