You can smell the gunpowder and hear the cannon fire … Arnold’s passion for the period suffuses every page - Robyn Young, author of the Brethren trilogyPowerfully visualised battle scenes which can certainly stand in comparison with the best of Cornwell - Yorkshire PostI loved Sharpe. I am going to be equally at home with Captain Stryker - Historical Novels ReviewAn intensely interesting, plot-driven historical novel of superb quality … I found it very difficult to put down until the final page - Euro CrimeA fast-moving, exciting novel … Forget Sharpe and enjoy the exploits of Captain Stryker in an earlier and dangerous period of history. Once hooked you will look forward to the next in this series - Ryedale Gazette and Herald“Michael Arnold has caught all of the passion, urgency, fear and exhilaration of men in battle. Not only that, he’s writing in a period that he obviously knows intimately and in to which he has breathed new life.’ - Patrick Mercer, author of To Do & Die, Dust & Steel, Red Runs the HelmandMike Arnold hooks the reader with the clash of steel and the roar of gunpowder. Rollicking action and proper history combine in this cracking series. - Anthony RichesAbout The Author
