Great story telling. Cornwell takes the bones of Historical dates and characters you learned snippets about at school, and transports you back to be alongside a pivotal character who lived through events which 'could have' occurred at that moment of time. Remember to get the most enjoyment, you'll need to buy the complete set of books relevant to that character/series, and read the books in timeline order.

Bernard Cornwell, Never lets you down. A gripping story right up until the end. With a lot of historical information thrown into the mix.
The best stuff he has written..and his favourite by his own admission. The Warlord trilogy is by far the nearest thing to the truth in the ''King'' Arthur legend..masses of research..smack bang in the Dark Ages where it belongs using all the Ambrosius Aurelianus/Riothamus/Arthur info that is out there. THIS would've made a cracking trilogy of films. ..A pity Guy Ritchie hadn't read these before embarking on his Knights of the Round Table series of films . My favourite books up there with Lord of the Rings and Lustbader 's Sunset Warrior sequence.
