About the author
Griff Hosker
307 books439 followersI was born in 1950 in Lancashire and attended a boy’s grammar school. After qualifying as an English and Drama teacher in 1972, I worked in the North East of England for the next 35 years. During that time I did write, mainly plays, pantos and musicals for the students at the three schools in which I worked.
When I stopped teaching I set up my own consultancy firm and worked as an adviser in schools and colleges in the North East of England. The new Conservative Government ended that avenue of work and in 2010 I found that I had time on my hands; having started work at the age of 15 I found the lack of work not to my liking and used the time to research the Roman invasion of Britain and begin to create a novel. The result was The Sword of Cartimandua.
My decision to begin writing was one of the best I have ever taken.

This is the 6th book in the Anarchy series, historical fiction taking place in England in the 12th century. I have read all the earlier novels and enjoyed them. This one was no exception. With lots of battles, plotting, and counter-plotting, these books make for exciting reading while reflecting life in that period both for the ordinary citizen and the nobles. I would recommend these books to anyone interested in the history of the times. I intend to continue reading the rest of the novels in the series.

This series is addictive - Read at your own risk!
Griff Hosker enables one to experience history as a contemporary. This is my third reading of the Anarchy Series. All of Hosker's books are so well written that each cycle of reading them is as if it is a new book!

A Compelling Piece of the Series
This was a fun and exciting continuing adventure. The spelling and grammatical errors and oversights were an ongoing distraction. However, it was a compelling piece of the series.

Another great read!
Yet again Griff Hosker has driven the nail home. Another great tale of Alfraed of Stockton that is, as usual, full of mystery and intrigue.
