Requirements: Epub Reader 8.6mb |Version(s) Retail
Overview: Griff Hosker – I am the writer of Historical fiction – from the Roman The Sword of Cartimandua series to the World War 2 Combined Operations series. I research all my books thoroughly. I use characters who would behave not as a twenty first century man but as a soldier of the period
Genre: General Fiction/Classics
