C.R.MAY IS RAPIDLY DEVELOPING INTO ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT HISTORICAL FICTION NOVELISTS WRITING TODAY - SPEESH READS.
The year 1066 is arguably the most famous in English history. Assailed on all sides, King Harold and his doughty army finally fall to a last gasp Norman assault.
It is perhaps the very first of those fights against the odds which have entered the national psyche, of which Agincourt, Rorke's Drift and Dunkirk are but a few.
But what if Harold Godwinson had prevailed on that blood soaked ridge? Or the invasions of Harald of Norway and William of Normandy had never taken place at all?
Here, bestselling author C.R.May presents twelve short stories, each outlining widely differing ways which could easily - and in some cases should have - produced an entirely different timeline, alternative futures which would have had a dramatic effect on the world in which we live today.

SWORD OF WODEN
Entertaining and building into a really good trilogy. If you like Bernard Cornwell or Simon Scarrow you will love this.
THE REVIEW
KING'S BANE
A fast paced, well written story full of blood and death.
DAVID'S BOOK BLURG.
CONQUEROR OF ROME
I enjoyed this far more than most of the commercially published fiction I have read and reviewed in the past two years.
