by Bernard Cornwell "First off it's confession time, I've never read a Bernard Cornwell book in my life. So it was a great surprise if not a privilege for Harper Collins to send his new book my way.
Nice job on the cover by the way guys. The whole production is just tops, and I always applaud a publisher that decides to match a cover picture to the era inside. I'm not naming names, but some people should really find the difference between a Napoleonic uniform and an early 18th century one, that's all, and absolutely nothing to do with Warriors of the Storm. Having admitted my ignorance, I will now qualify that I have of course heard of Cornwell, I am familiar with what people have to say about his writings and know a few people that are fans. All say the best things about his books, and overall everyone seems impressed by his original idea to focus a series on Britain in early Saxon times. Including me.
Fans will know him first because his name is on the front and his photo is in the back, and also by the long and distinguished list of books forever attached to his name. The well known Sharpe series, the Grail Quest series, the Warlord Chronicles which is set at the time of King Arthur… Whenever that was, and not forgetting the Starbuck series which flies somewhat below the radar these days thanks to more popular series'. It's the thrilling tale of how a barista travels back in time to the American Civil War. Alright no it's not about that, it's just about the American civil war…"

Armand, I really like Cornwell's books and have read most of them.
The Warlord series (3) remains my favourite,but Uthred is once again worming himself into my heart. I believe this is already the ninth book in the series? The two latest ones Empty Throne and Pagan Lord were somewhat less than spectacular, but this one is amazingly good again! Haven't read any of the Starbuck novels as ACW isn't really my thing, but perhaps I should.
The Fort (AWI) is simply fantastic! |
