by Richard Foreman (Author)
'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...

Richard Foreman's books have been widely praised.
Praise for 'Band of Brothers: The Game's Afoot':
'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'.
Praise for '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.
Praise for 'Raffles: The Complete Innings': 'Classy, humorous and surprisingly touching tales of cricket, friendship and crime.' - David Blackburn, The Spectator.
