Brilliant -- Bernard Cornwell on THE SCARLET THIEF
Savage, courageous, and clever * Goodreads on THE SCARLET THIEF *
I love a writer who wears his history lightly enough for the story he's telling to blaze across the pages like this. Jack Lark is an unforgettable new hero -- Anthony Riches on THE SCARLET THIEF
The spirit of Sharpe lives again in another time, in another war, in the guise of Jack Lark * www.parmenionbooks.wordpress.com on THE MAHARAJAH'S GENERAL *
A confident, rich and exciting novel that gave me all the ingredients I would want for a historical adventure of the highest order * www.forwinternights.wordpress.com on THE MAHARAJAH'S GENERAL *
