I really fancy reading this book. Conn Iggulden was talking about it on open
book this week and he sounded like a nice bloke too. I've attached it in case
anyone else wants to give it a go. Has anyone read any of his other series?

Stormbird by Conn Iggulden
Wars Of The Roses series book 1.
King Henry V - the great Lion of England - is long dead.
In 1437, after years of regency, the pious and gentle Henry VI, the Lamb, comes
of age and accedes to the English throne. His poor health and frailty of mind
render him a weakling king - Henry depends on his closest men, Spymaster Derry
Brewer and William de la Pole, Duke of Suffolk, to run his kingdom.
Yet there are those, such as the Plantagenet Richard, Duke of York, who believe
England must be led by a strong king if she is to survive. With England's
territories in France under threat, and rumours of revolt at home, fears grow
that Henry and his advisers will see the country slide into ruin. With a secret
deal struck for Henry to marry a young French noblewoman, Margaret of Anjou,
those fears become all too real.
As storm clouds gather over England, King Henry and his supporters find
themselves besieged abroad and at home. Who, or what, can save the kingdom
before it is too late?
