Launch day has finally arrived and I’m delighted to say Shadow of the Serpent is now available in print, ebook and PDF from Amazon UK and US, DriveThruRPG, Modiphius and direct on my own Books to Buy link (where both great prices and signed copies are available)!
Thanks so much for all your support, kind words and encouragement during this launch period. It’s been great inspiration. It means the world to have so many wonderful fans. It was lovely to meet so many of you in person at the Innsmouth Literary Festival last weekend and sign so many copies too (see below)!
Shadow of the Serpent
As the year 1810 wanes, dashing hussar Lieutenant Gaston Dubois finds himself banished from his beloved 13th Death’s Head Hussars and dispatched in disgrace to the “Accursed” 31st Dragoons.
Placed in command of the unruly Second Company, can he transform his dispirited men into an effective fighting force, prove his ability to command and escape the murderous attentions of an odious fellow officer?
But even in this forgotten corner of the war, the forces of mythos and mystery are never far away. Dubois is plagued by uncanny events, a countryside raised against him and the wrath of a fearsome guerilla bandita, La Espina, determined to have his head.
Called to arms in a decisive encounter with the Spanish army, can Dubois and his company perform in the heat of battle and restore his lost reputation and his honour?
“Another masterpiece. A perfect blending of Bernard Cornwell and H.P. Lovecraft that combines the thrill of Napoleonic warfare with multi-dimensional, unknowable horrors.” Sci-Fi and Fantasy Reviewer
“A perfect blend of history, fantasy, humour, and darkness.” – Assaph Mehr – Egretia.com
