Sturm Line

by Gilbert M. Stack

Marshal Sturm has been given the seemingly impossible task of claiming the earldom of Fortaleza from the hands of a pretender who has had control of the territory for nearly a year. To have any hope of success, he needs an army trained in the musket doctrine he used to hold Steil Pass and conquer the city of Hekt. But where does a peer of the realm recruit an army when his fief is already in enemy hands? If you’re Marshal Sturm, you return to Eisenland, the territory you grew up in. But not everyone in his homeland is happy to see a local boy elevated to the top of the peerage. And old enemies and new view the isolated countryside of Sturm’s youth as the perfect place to trap and murder him.

Reviews

[Douglas Evans]

Very good book which must be heading towards several later books to describe current and future events.
