Publisher Review

PRAISE FOR DAVID WRAGG: 'Reminds me of Abercrombie's THE BLADE ITSELF' Nicholas Eames, author of KINGS OF THE WYLD 'Refreshing and entertaining, like a cross between Nicholas Eames and Joe Abercrombie; THE BLACK HAWKS is simply a joy to read' Peter McLean, author of PRIEST OF BONES 'Wragg captures the classic fantasy spirit of adventure and exploration, wraps it with stabbed backs and cannibals and gifts it to you on a bed of action' Ed McDonald, author of BLACKWING 'Everyone loves a good mercenary tale, but THE BLACK HAWKS offers more besides: a protagonist who's refreshingly rubbish at fighting, a supporting cast who'd be fascinating if they were just standing around in a supermarket, and an author who knows when to dodge cliches, and when to jump in and splash like a kid in a puddle' Nate Crowley, author of 100 BEST VIDEO GAMES (THAT NEVER EXISTED) 'Check out THE BLACK HAWKS - it's full of fun characters, mercenary antics, twists, turns, and contains my favourite fantasy lemon' Peter Newman, Gemmell Award-winning author of THE VAGRANT and THE DEATHLESS 'A remarkably assured debut...I can't wait to see what happens next' Anna Stephens, author of GODBLIND
