In the 1500s, the German landsknechts were some of the best, most flamboyant, fighters for hire. Although these are just short stories, a tremendous amount of research went into each adventure. Both modern history books and translated period documents were researched. The colorful history aside, these were all written to be fun action stories. They jump right in with both feet and tend to end up with a mighty roar.
