Tom Swan and the Head of St George, Part One $1.66 USD on Amazon and if this sells well he will continue with more. link
1450s France. A young Englishman, Tom Swan, is kneeling in the dirt, waiting to be killed by the French who've taken him captive.
He's not a professional soldier. He's really a merchant and a scholar looking for remnants of Ancient Greece and Rome – temples, graves, pottery, fabulous animals, unicorn horns. But he also has a real talent for ending up in the midst of violence when he didn't mean to. Having used his wits to escape execution, he begins a series of adventures that take him to street duels in Italy, meetings with remarkable men – from Leonardo Da Vinci to Vlad Dracula – and from the intrigues of the War of the Roses to the fall of Constantinople. |

Good stuff. He's the same author who wrote the "Tyrant" series set in the time of Alexander the Great: link |

Parts 1; 2 and 3 all available for 99p each on Amazon UK (parts 2 and 3 are on pre-order): link The foreword suggests mercenaries in 15th century Italy which is my thing at the moment so I think a 99p x 3 investment may be called for. Doug |

I read part 1 last night. Plenty of sword fighting in there to keep me waiting for the next chapter. |
