'Escapism at its best... A great read that tells much about the style of war and how the individuals fought.' - Michael Jecks.
1415.
Harfleur.
The town stands defiant. Henry V and his army have been repulsed. If the English fail to break the siege then their campaign will be over. Men will die, from disease or starvation.
The King instructs one of his agents, Thomas Chaucer, to negotiate a deal with a local French merchant to re-supply the army. But, instead of meeting an ally, Chaucer is about to come face to face with an old enemy.
Henry, in a last throw of the dice, charges the archer Robert Cooper with ending the siege.
The bowman forms a plan. The night attack will either save the English army - or damn it.
Once more into the breach...
'Band of Brothers: Harfleur' is a page-turning novella full of action, intrigue and historical insight. For fans of Bernard Cornwell, Conn Iggulden and George Macdonald Fraser.

Praise for Richard Foreman's books:
Spies of Rome.
'A masterful and evocative depiction of a fledgling imperial Rome fraught with intrigue and at war with itself. The story and characters are as striking as the graffiti that adorns the violent city's walls during Augustus' rise.' Steven Veerapen, author of The Abbey Close
'An arresting opening that leads into a thoroughly gripping story. Impressive research and understanding of the period allows Richard Foreman to move so seamlessly and effectively from historical epic to historical detective thriller. A must read for fans of Steven Saylor.' Peter Tonkin, author of The Ides
'Original and hard-hitting... Rome burns with intrigue in this totally unputdownable book.' Antony Cutler, author of The Accursed
Augustus: Son of Rome.
'Augustus: Son of Rome forges action and adventure with politics and philosophy. This superb story is drenched in both blood and wisdom - and puts Foreman on the map as the coming man of historical fiction'. Saul David, Author of the Zulu Hart series
Raffles: The Complete Innings.
'Classy, humorous and surprisingly touching tales of cricket, friendship and crime.' David Blackburn, The Spectator
Band of Brothers: The Complete Campaigns.
'Escapism at its best... A great read that tells much about the style of war and how the individuals fought.' Michael Jecks
'A rattling good yarn, requiring only the minimum of suspension of belief, and leaves one eagerly anticipating the next instalment of the adventures of the team as they accompany the King to Harfleur.' Major Gordon Corrigan, author of A Great and Glorious Adventure: A Military History of the Hundred Years War
Warsaw.
'Warsaw is a work of power. It has the authentic feeling that pulses from an important book. The meticulous research and psychological insights light up one of the most ghastly episodes in the history of man's inhumanity to man.' Patrick Bishop, author of Fighter Boys
Genre: Historical
