Kemp: The Road to Poitiers by Jonathan Lunn
Two kingdoms clash in one of the greatest battles of the Hundred Years War.September 1356. Martin Kemp and his troop of archers ride with the Black Prince's army as it burns and plunders its way across France. When they find all the bridges across the Loire are destroyed, however, their hopes of uniting with the Duke of Lancaster's army are dashed, and a hasty retreat is the order of the day. But a French army is closing in fast and Kemp's old foe, Sir Geoffroi de Chargny, rides with it, now honoured with the duty of bearing the Oriflamme: the sacred war banner of France. Cut off, outnumbered and running out of supplies, the weary English realise their only hope is to risk everything on a pitched battle, and hope the tricks they used ten years earlier at Crcy will pay off a second time, in a field just a few miles outside of Poitiers A climactic moment in history expertly told by a master of the genre, perfect for fans of Christian Cameron and David Gilman.
Born in London a very long time ago, Jonathan Lunn claims to have literary antecedents, being descended from the man who introduced Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to the Reichenbach Falls. To relax he goes for long strolls in the British countryside, an activity which over the years has resulted in him getting lost (multiple times), breaking a rib, failing to overcome his fear of heights atop dizzying precipices, fleeing herds of stampeding cattle, providing a feast for blood-sucking parasites, being shot at by hooligans with air-rifles, and finding himself trapped by rising floodwaters. He lives in Bristol where he writes full time.
