Young Bloods (Wellington and Napoleon 1)
Young Bloods (Wellington and Napoleon 1): (Revolution 1) | Simon Scarrow
4 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
YOUNG BLOODS is the first gripping novel in Simon Scarrow's bestselling Wellington and Napoleon quartet. Perfect for fans of Robert Harris. Arthur Wesley (the future Duke of Wellington) was born and bred to be a leader. With a firm belief that the nation must be led by a king, the red-coated British officer heads for battle against the French Republic, to restore the fallen monarchy. Napoleon Bonaparte joins the French military on the eve of the Revolution. He believes leadership is won by merit, not by noble birth. When anarchy explodes in Paris he's thrust into the revolutionary army poised to march against Britain. As two mighty Empires embark on a bloody duel, Wesley and Bonaparte prepare to face a sworn enemy, unaware that the fate of Europe will one day lie in their hands...

2 good books, one the start of the excellent Napoleon and Wellington Series (4 books), the other a semi auto-biographical book about James Herriot that just makes you laugh out loud!

Started listening to Young Bloods, which is the first book in the Quartet of Books about Napoleon and Wellington. Read so far up to their births! Feels a good reading style at this early stage. #HistoricalFiction #LitsyAtoZ #YearoftheChunkster

Think I could do a thousand posts for the #historical tag, but thought I go a bit different and use The Wellington and Napoleon Quartet from Simon Scarrow. Have read two of them out of order and loved them, but will be reading all four in order this year. Hope to start Young Bloods in the next few weeks. #ReadingResolutions
