Publisher's Summary
Go with God and Fight Like the Devil. A fascinating hero and the pursuit of a sword with mythical power - this is the remarkable new novel by Britain’s master storyteller, which culminates at the Battle of Poitiers in 1356.
The Hundred Years War rages on and the bloodiest battles are yet to be fought. Across France, towns are closing their gates, the crops are burning and the country stands alert to danger. The English army, victorious at the Battle of Crécy and led by the Black Prince, is invading again and the French are hunting them down.
Thomas of Hookton, an English archer known as Le Bâtard, is under orders to seek out the lost sword of St Peter, a weapon said to grant certain victory to whoever possesses her. As the outnumbered English army becomes trapped near the town of Poitiers, Thomas, his men and his sworn enemies meet in an extraordinary confrontation that ignites one of the greatest battles of all time.

a nice suprise
i was a bit concerned that yet again a narrator had been replaced in a Cornwell series...but Jack did a great job....a joy to listen to. although I'm not sure his pronunciation of some words is right...
it's Sire not Seer
and City not Citay
but overall it was an enjoyable end to the series.

This narrator is terrible
He has no concept of cadence, only to confuse and infuriate the listener. If this is the result of an editor rather than the narrator, then I apologise...Otherwise Mr. Cromwell, bring back your previous narrators please

struggled to get into this- i preferred the previous narrator
i feel dreadful saying this as i’m sure the narrator is normally great but after listening to the first 3 books the narrator just could not capture my attention and i struggled to listen to this story which is a pity because i’ve enjoyed the series
