Warlord's Gold

The enigmatic Stryker 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 Express

Michael Arnold’s Civil War Chronicles have the makings of a fun, Sharpe-like series. - History Today

If 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 Telegraph

Arnold is at his best describing real events … if you like Cornwell you will like Arnold. - Historical Novels Review

A 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 Chronicles

Praise for HUNTER’S RAGE:

A 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. - Battlefield

Has the makings of a fun, Sharpe-like series. - BBC History Today
