Produktbeschreibung

"Kings and princes think differently to you because you are Swiss. You think you are one of them. But you are not."

Leon Muller's rise has been meteoric to become the most powerful individual in all Hungary, his army the most feared fighting force in the whole Balkans. Thanks to his efforts there is peace in Hungary and his friends now occupy positions of power in the kingdom. But success on the battlefield does not translate into gratitude but rather jealously and resentment. 'Homeland' sees Leon embark on his most daring and brilliant campaign yet to relieve the home of King Matthias and punish Vlad Dracula. But it has unforeseen consequences, prompting him to turn his gaze to a land he has not seen in years.

'Homeland' is the final volume in the Alpine Warrior series, the story of Swiss mercenary Leon Muller in the wars of the 15th Century when Europe was riven by civil, religious, dynastic and imperial conflicts. Maps of Austria, Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, Bohemia and the Holy Roman Empire are available to view and download for free on the maps page of my website.

Autorenporträt

I was raised in Grantham, Lincolnshire and attended the King's Grammar School after passing the Eleven Plus exam. In the latter I clearly remember writing an essay on Oliver Cromwell my first piece of military writing.

Then came a BA in history and international relations at Nottingham followed by a Master of Philosophy course at the University of York. The subject was the generalship and cavalry of Prince Rupert of the Rhine, my boyhood hero, during the English Civil War. The year I spent researching and writing at York, Oxford and at the British Library in London was a truly wonderful time.
I moved to London and eventually joined a small publishing company as an editor. Thus began my writing career. I now live in Lincolnshire with my wife Karen.
