Book Title: | THE SWORD AND SHIELD OF THE REALM |
Book Author: | Florian Stone Wells |
| Publisher: | www.sapientus.com |
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Description/Review :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Dear Reviewer,
Not often the new is worthy of note but this time it is, and it needs friends &
I take the liberty to introduce to you my newly released historical novel, which the Historical Fiction Org. in Great Britain recommend to every school librarian to buy it.
THE SWORD AND THE SHIELD OF THE REALM
By
FLORIAN STONE WELLS
The first novel of
MERCHANTS OF TIME
A seven-part historical series
Before the rise to dominance of Western Europe, there was a pivotal time in history when the world was consumed by the epic struggle between the Islamic Empire of the Ottomans and the Christian Kingdoms of Eastern Europe.
Two civilizations and two very different ways of life confronted each other. Those events shook the world and still reverberate in todays headlines, with the fate of mankind yet to be decided &
The Sword and the Shield of the Realm debuts the historical series MERCHANTS of TIME, a seven-novel journey into the maelstrom of Eastern Europe during the years between 1448 and 1529, a colorful epoch marked by turbulence and mayhem. A tale of mystery and suspenseful adventure, the novel takes the reader in a time when, in the intricate tapestry of human history, many of todays predicaments took root. Using the compelling account of true historical events as a backdrop to understand philosophical and religious differences that so profoundly impact our world, the author provides the reader with greater insight into the painful truths of our past.
The year is 1448. Transylvania and Wallachia, The Sword and the Shield of the Kingdom of Hungary, are about to be invaded by an immense army under the banner of Sultan Murad II, the man who calls himself The Shadow of Allah upon the World & More can be viewed at www.sapientus.com.
The book is available for order at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Borders, Alibris, or local bookstore.

Book Title: | WALLS OF JERICHO |
Book Author: | Jonathan Hopkins |
| Publisher: | YouWriteOn.com |
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Description/Review :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Dear Bernard I blame Richard Sharpe. And my late father. Dad left me a boxful of your novels, and Sharpe's snide remarks about the British cavalry (with a few honourable exceptions) got my goat. They couldn't have all been that bad, could they? So I read and read, until my wife was sick of me talking about the 'bl**dy cavalry'. And I thought, on balance, that historians had been particularly unkind to the horsemen. Now I'm no historian (a surfeit of political history at school throttled any interest) but I've always been quite good at stories. Someone needed to play fair with the cavalry, and I thought, 'I can write a book just as well as this Cornwell fella.' What a naive fool I was! Anyway, the end result is that my first novel was published this month. Entitled 'Walls of Jericho' (ISBN1849230307), it tells the story of two young cavalrymen in the years leading up to Vimeiro, the action peaking with the 20th Light Dragoons disastrous (or perhaps not!)charge across the battlefield. I couldn't resist including a tiny homage to Sharpe's men, which any of your fans who read the story may spot. I would not have started writing, let alone complete and publish the book, without the inspiration you provided, and I'll be forever grateful to you for that. When the first copies were delivered, my mother held one up, had a little weep and said, 'Your father would have loved this.' That alone was worth all the effort. I hope you manage to find enough gaps in Mister Sharpe's career to write at least a half-dozen more adventures - my current set is beginning to get pretty dog-eared from use! My very best wishes, and compliments of the season to you and your family. Kind regards, Jonathan Hopkins www.cavalrytales.co.uk.
