I devoured it in one sitting' <i>Parmenion Books </i></b></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Brilliant--<i><b>Bernard Cornwell</b></i><br><br>I love a writer who wears his history lightly enough for the story he's telling to blaze across the pages like this. Jack Lark is an unforgettable new hero--<i><b>Anthony Riches</b></i><br><br>It felt accurate, it felt real, it felt alive... Every line every paragraph and page of the battles had me hooked, riveted to the page, there were times when I was almost as breathless as the exhausted soldiers--<i><b>Parmenion Books</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Paul's love of military history started at an early age. A childhood spent watching films like <i>Waterloo</i> and <i>Zulu</i> whilst reading Sharpe, Flashman and the occasional <i>Commando</i> comic, gave him a desire to know more of the men who fought in the great wars of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. At school, Paul was determined to become an officer in the British Army and he succeeded in winning an Army Scholarship. However, Paul chose to give up his boyhood ambition and instead went into the finance industry. Paul stills works in the City, and lives with his wife and three children in Kent.
