Strength of Swords

First Cohort #2

by Anthony James

Having fought their hardest fight, the men of the First Cohort have had victory snatched away from them.

Driven to the depths of despair, Captain Tyrus Charing takes a chance on a glimmering hope. There’s an opportunity to continue the fight, but it will involve a journey to the one place that they dare not visit. Something hides in Duke Warmont’s capital city of Blades which might just turn the war on its head.

Captain Charing and his soldiers have made their vow and they will see it through to the bitter end. Against an unstoppable determination, even death is not always an obstacle.

About the author

Anthony James spent his youth reading what might now be called classic sci-fi and fantasy books. These days, he spends time in his study with the door locked against rampant and ferocious toddlers, writing books of his own.

That's the third person stuff out of the way.

For anyone who's read any of my books, you'll know that I write action science fiction that pulls no punches and which doesn't cram the good stuff into the last couple of chapters. The action starts early and it doesn't let up. I also take care to mix in plenty of humanity. The characters I write are all distinctly believable, often facing uncaring enemies and overwhelming odds. When they win, it's because they did their best.

Go on. Punch an alien today. Better yet, check out my series of books, each one filled with action, technology, warfare, aliens and against-the-odds survival. Lots of kick-back-and-enjoy weekend or evening reading.

Great fighting scenes and characters. I can't wait for next book. Seems like Roman chort on steroids.
