Historical Adventure Fiction Bargain Book Box

Historical Adventure Fiction Bargain Book Box

Three Wilbur Smiths. Three Simon Scarrows. Four Ben Kanes. And Sharpe.

This is a box for readers who measure a good weekend in campaigns. Macro and Cato marching through three consecutive Eagles of the Empire novels. Bernard Cornwell putting Sharpe back in the field in Spain. Wilbur Smith on ancient Egypt, on the high seas, and on the fiftieth global bestseller of a career that essentially defined the genre. Ben Kane on Richard the Lionheart, on Napoleon, on Rome and its enemies.

Then the ones with a different angle: Christian Cameron on Sparta and on the age of chivalry, both written by a man who reenacts what he writes. Paul Doherty's Hugh Corbett solving a medieval murder. A Lady Emily mystery in imperial St Petersburg. And E S Thomson down among the tunnels and the dead of Victorian London.

Battle, empire, betrayal, and the smell of blackpowder. Not a slow chapter in the box.

1. House of Two Pharaohs — Wilbur Smith | ISBN: 9781838776381 | RRP: $39.99

2. Storm Tide — Wilbur Smith | ISBN: 9781838775575 | RRP: $45.00

4. Blue Water — Leonora Nattrass | ISBN: 9781788165969 | RRP: $24.99
   An instant Times bestseller. A Georgian-era mystery set aboard a ship crossing the Atlantic, where a murder leaves a diplomatic packet — and everyone aboard — under suspicion. Leonora Nattrass writes with wit, precision, and real period authority.

   Macro and Cato face rebellion in Britannia as Boudica's rising gathers force. Simon Scarrow writes Roman military fiction better than almost anyone — the tactics are right, the pace never slackens.
6. Rebellion (Eagles of the Empire 22) — Simon Scarrow | ISBN: 9781472287076 | RRP: $55.00
   The campaign continues, with the Roman position in Britannia deteriorating and the cost mounting. With three consecutive Eagles novels in this box, there's a proper run of the series here.

8. Under Ground — E S Thomson | ISBN: 9781472131539 | RRP: $59.99
   A superbly atmospheric Victorian mystery from the acclaimed Jem Flockhart series, descending into the tunnels, sewers, and burial grounds beneath London. E S Thomson writes period medicine and period squalor with genuine relish.
9. Treason of Sparta — Christian Cameron | ISBN: 9781409198215 | RRP: $55.00

13. Clash of Empires — Ben Kane | ISBN: 9781409173380 | RRP: $32.99

    The twenty-fourth Hugh Corbett medieval mystery from a writer who is also a historian of the period. Paul Doherty's fourteenth-century England is dark, plausible, and full of people with excellent reasons to lie.

    Richard Sharpe returns to the Peninsular War in Bernard Cornwell's first new Sharpe novel in years — a mission behind French lines, and the usual complete disregard for anyone's plans but his own. The finest historical adventure series in English, still going.
