Boyar (Alpine Warrior Book 5) Kindle Edition
Leon and his mercenaries have escaped Constantinople and are now wandering beggars. But veterans are never unemployed for long and soon Leon is offered a contract by Vlad Dracula, prince of Wallachia and enemy of the sultan.
But the sultan is now more powerful than ever and Leon finds himself fighting not only the enemy in Wallachia but also lending aid to the beleaguered rulers of Hungary and Serbia as Ottoman forces close in for the kill. The forces arrayed against the sultan are fragmented, riven by jealousies and petty squabbles, unable to present a united front against a rising power that threatens to conquer the whole of Europe. Can Leon and his hardy Swiss soldiers create another miracle to save the day or will they be engulfed in a Balkan bloodbath?
‘Boyar’ is the fifth 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, religious, dynastic and imperial conflicts. Maps of the Ottoman Empire, Wallachia and the Balkans are available to view and download on the maps page of my website.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2025Enjoy the historical image/ mental pictures of places & people! Very easy to follow the characters & places. Muller continues to ascend the food chain. I’m looking forward to #6! dp
- Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2024Overall a good read, and interesting history, but too much reptition of weapons descriptions and make up of armies, almost as if the author was just trying to fill the pages to reach a certain number. Still, enjoyable if you skip those repetitions
- Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2024Good character development compliments reasonable approximations of the historical events. The characters are consistent from volume to volume with natural evolution.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2023Terrible ending did not finalize the characters life, or daughters. Seemed like the author ran out of steam. After five books, could have ended much better
- Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2023Peter Darman is my favorite author in the historical fiction genre. Crisp, well-written plots that move at a great pace along with richly developed characters and wonderfully described scenery makes me feel like I am there in the thick of the action.
I highly recommend this book (and all the others in the series) and am looking forward to the next installment.
This novel and series is a DO NOT MISS!

A brilliant book in the series and I look forward to the next and to see how Leon can reverse Mehmet the Conqueror’s luck and stall the Ottoman advance into modern day Hungary and Romania.
