The Wolf of Rimini (Alpine Warrior Book 2) Kindle Edition
Fresh from their exploits in Switzerland, Leon and his comrades march south to Italy to fight for the Duchy of Milan against the Republic of Venice. Italy is the most cultured country in Europe, but its politicians, churchmen and generals are cunning and clever as well as learned. And they are expert puppet masters, as Leon and his comrades discover to their cost.
Leon, now a captain, becomes central to the success of the Swiss army but he is also unwittingly manipulated by powerful figures as Swiss fortunes wax and wane. In battle the Swiss are like wolves, but a far more devious and powerful wolf is their enemy and in the battle for northern Italy, tactical victories seem to turn into strategic defeats. And soon the Swiss are despised for their ruthless approach to warfare and face having to flee back to their homeland. Will Leon and his comrades survive their Italian adventure?
‘The Wolf of Rimini’ is the second volume in the ‘Alpine Warrior’ series – the story of Swiss soldier Leon Muller in the wars of the 15th Century when Europe was torn apart by civil, dynastic and imperial conflicts.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2024Didn’t think title matched, as the story was about Leon. Another great book in the series. Hard for me to put down. Really like historical fiction from another point view, instead of the usual English. Well done
- Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2022I have read a number of books by this author and enjoyed all of them. This book is definitely the best and I hope there will be more in this series. A good well written story which held my attention throughout and had me wanting more.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2022Another great edition to the series by Mr Darman. Highly entertaining, well-written, excellent character development and wonderfully told, this novel is a DO NOT MISS!
Other fantastic historical fiction by Darman is the Parthian Chronicle series.
Highly recommend!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2022Very good historical fiction a lot of facts about the time.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2022The story of Leon continues and there isn't a dull moment. I can't wait for the continuation of this historical novel. Unbelievably descriptive.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2022You have a good book here. Keep the story going. Cannot wait for the next book.
The Swiss keep marching along

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent story
I love Peter Darman and all the series he does. Brings the history to life through the main characters. I always read these books and then pick up the none fiction to get more detail but Peter sticks close to the history. Cannot recommend Peter Darman books enough

4.0 out of 5 stars Repeated descriptions to fill pages.
Having read a number of Peter Darman books I find that the description of certain incidents in his stories is like someone who needs to pad out a story that needs a number of words or pages. For example, the number of times he explains the grouping of the army, the angle at which the lances are positioned (45 degrees) and the glint of the armour worn became tedious. Once the scene has been set, there is no need to repeat words. I have yet to read book three in the trilogy so we'll see what is written.
