Redcoats I've fancied it but I think it is a little expensive the last time I looked! That's why I asked you!

He is a very prolific writer, google him or search on kindle and the start of the series that I mentioned is called 'the Guns Of The South' then if you follow it with 'Those Who Remain'. The series starts from there. Absolutely enthralling!
Let me know what you think, before buying!

I've downloaded a sample of Guns Of The South, I'll have a read and let you know

I bought the lot in paperback, cost me twice as much as Kindle. Thick books, well over 500 pages per books, but a great read!
The lot spans approx 100 years. It is called by Fandom 'The South Win' series. There is a total list of all his writing on Wikipedia ( best source), he writes in pseudonym for a lot of his titles. I am not a fan of his magic what ifs. But other history books like the Japanese occupation of Hawaii. And his latest series The War That Came Early series, which has only one more book to come out in the series. I also enjoyed his book. Ruled Britannia, about Shakespeare, when the Spanish Armada successfully invaded Britain.

A lot to take in. But knowledge is power. The pen is mightier than the sword, and ****!,,,,,

 

[Lamont D]

Don't know how I managed that!,

 

[semiphonic]

Told you!

I actually thought that was quite reasonable!

I have been re-reading some classics a lot of which are free - Wuthering Heights, Northanger Abbey, Dracula, Frankenstein, a bit of Oscar Wilde, Charles Dickens that I didn't really get into when I was younger but quite enjoying them now. If you check out the daily deal 99p books, they usually have "look inside" marker which lets you read the first chaper or part of it, you can also ask for a sample to be sent then if you don't like it you can delete it or buy it if it's ok.

I quite like a series of books called The Hangmans' Daughter I think there are 3 or 4 set in 16th century Germany.

PS I also read the Book Theif, but didn't like it much. There didn't seem to be much of a story and was a bit repetative.

I loved The Book Thief.

I really enjoy historical fiction, and I also like fantasy, so when I found a book (I think on a Kindle deal) which combined the two I bought it - Faerie - It turned out to be a historical fantasy ROMANCE - sooo not my thing! Far to much sex for my liking and pretend medieval speak. It was not even worth the 99p I'd splashed out.

Cheapie Kindle books can be hit and miss, but you do come across some gems in the self-published sectors at times.

If you like historical themed drama, have you read Jodi Taylor's' St Mary's series. I thought they were brill!

 

[RosieLKH]

Edit - and have now downloaded Bk1.

 

[Lamont D]

Sorry didn't know you had replied!

And for proper holiday reading and not thinking to hard, are the babylon books. Beach babylon and hospital babylon, I've read them about 4 times. Airport babylon is hilarious but I haven't got that on kindle, I'll download the others ready for this year's hols. Also the Dan Brown books couldn't leave them alone.
