Henry Havoch & the Mounted Musketeers

"Cannons howled upon the muddy field with their sulfurous breath, and the marching pike formations of the Black Guard were torn asunder at the bouncing cannon balls. Smoke and heavy rain did together hinder the view of the foe across the field, but it did little to prevent the onslaught spat out of falconets and mortars breathing fire under canvas canopies.Captains and sergeants shouted orders and words of defiance as they brandished their glittering swords above their plumed morions. Encouraged by their example, the mercenary men of the Black Guard did not falter at the sight of their dead, but growled in response and marched on."

It was the Renaissance, time of progress and discovery. It was the Reformation, time of conflict and war. On the eve of the Thirty Years War, dukes and bishops fought fiercely for land and power with the Church's supremacy hanging in the balance. Yet, in the battlefields of Europe, the fighting was done above all by the salt of the earth. Whether out of feudal loyalty, misguided faith or simply for the sake of filling an empty purse, peasants and mercenaries shed their blood for the sake of callous clerics and greedy princes.

These are the adventures of Captain Henry Havoch and his Mounted Musketeers. Immerse yourself in this epic historical fiction by Tom Noel-Morgan and go back to 16th century Europe, in the shoes of an upstart mercenary captain, who would not bend to the whims of the greedy lords of Europe, and who would live by his conscience and his own leave above all.

Henry Havoch & the Mounted Musketeers is a swashbuckling historical fiction by innovative author Tom Noel-Morgan, written in a recreation of Olde English.
