Hey all,

So I've been reading a lot of Bernard Cornwell's Grail Quest series recently(great stuff BTW, Heartily recommended) and he spins a great yarn of the hundred years war from the perspective of a common English Archer. Its the kind of gritty, down in the mud, war story that I love.

So my question is, has anyone found any historical fiction novels (hell, I'll even take fantasy) that features Slings or Slingers?

Ill Start,

The Ten Thousand.

Picked it up at my first job stocking shelves in an A&P. Has a great (though small) part that details the equipment and methods of a group of Rhodian staff slingers.

Lion of Ireland, by Morgan Llewellyn. It tells the story of High King Brian Boru of Ireland. Many of the early battle scenes feature slinging.

The first few chapters do start off slow, but the story speeds up as you go along. Also, the tale broadens the scope of  literary understanding and heightens the expanse of potential vocabulary. (Translation, you may need a dictionary at first, but you might find the wording mixing into your own speech. )

A children's book Runs with Horses features apache slinging,  there's books like clan of the cave bear series ofc, last of the breed by louis lamour(sp.?),  idk anyhting else
