Lord of the Silver Bow. David Gemmell. Book One of the Troy series. Have read all of his books apart from this particular series so looking forward to it. Have the other two in reserve ready.
I read it at college. Quite slow paced to start with but then just gains momentum. One of my favourite books with its distinctive narrative structure.Bram stoker's Dracula , finally got around to reading it after about 25 years.. Even mentions Exeter in it.
Well I liked this so much I'm now ploughing through book 2 in the series - The Obelisk GateThe Fifth Season - N.K. Jemisin
Just carried out a check on this book Mr B and will pop into my local "Prospect Charity Shop" (books & Maps) and ask them to keep an eye open for it. May I also mention an autobiography called 'Fly For Your Life' by that great fighter ace Robert Roland Stanford Tuck who was much connected with Kent.Last of the Ten Fighter Boys. Jimmy Corbin DFC. Flight Lieutenant Corbin’s account of how he left his employment as a young schoolteacher to train as a pilot and joined a frontline Spitfire squadron to take part in the Battle of Britain.Starting off as a raw pilot all he had was just over twenty hours of flying experience under his belt. A Maidstone lad , he fought over the sky’s of his own home town. Interestingly, , one of his postings later was to Exeter with his squadron after the Battle of Britain.
Was that squadron involved in the Baedeker raids ? (Memories of that as an Advent Calendar Quiz question posted by Elgy IIRC)This may also be of interest to you and others regarding a Polish Squadron (note it's motto) that gave sterling service during it's stay at RAF Exeter..
