The complete collection of Tom Swan and the Head of St George - containing parts one through six - chronicling the adventures of a young Englishman across medieval France.

1450s France. A young Englishman, Tom Swan, is kneeling in the dirt, waiting to be killed by the French who have 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.©2012 Christian Cameron (P)2021 Orion Publishing Group Action & Adventure Fiction Historical Fiction Medieval Renaissance Middle Ages Italy War Crusade

Christian's medieval novels are my favourite hisfic of all time, and this one is no exception.

I'm literally lost for what else to say, other than there was not one sentence I didn't hang on. love it!

Superb narration, too.

Absolutely flamin' fantastic!

a real boys dream of adventure in olden days, me 50yrs ago before computers or mobiles, it is very good and humorous, but not as good as tyrant, long war, or chivalry, but I will buy next in series, it's late I drift to sleep of swordfish, sailships, travels to foreign lands, and, oh, beautiful exotic women, and serving girls a plenty.

Having devoured The Chivalry series I was keep to continue the era, the superb writing and equally superb narrator in the form of Peter Noble. Book 1 does not disappoint with the familiar English hero taking on and defeating allcomers.. make that most (got to leave some for book 2).
Certain phrases reappear in this book that were used in the last series to the point of thinking there is an echo in the room but the scope of the story soon makes you forget the over use of religious prays as time measurements. Maybe it was a thing in the 14th century?
Peter Noble does another sterling job in narrating the book with the odd exception but again, in the scope of the story you can forgive him.
Looking forward to listening to the next in the series.

And the story begins. Another epic from Christian.
