Not Your Hollywood Arthur
This is my first time reading Bernard Cornwell and I have to say that I have really enjoyed this series. I remember reading books on Arthur as a kid, but nothing could've prepared me for this series. Don't read this book if you're expecting knights in shining armor, ...

The Pale Horseman
Cornwell grabs the readers interest from the very beginning and doesn't let go until the last page! His books are so well written that the reader feels a pang of regret as he nears the end of each of his books.
The Last Kingdom (The Saxon Chronicles Series #1)
Bernard Cornwell
HarperCollins
, 2006
GREAT SERIES FIND
I HAD ABOUT GIVEN UP ON CORNWELL COMING UP WITH A SERIES AND A CHARACTER AS GOOD AS SHARPE, BUT I DON'T ANYMORE. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT SERIES, DONE WITH TYPICAL CORNWELL LEVEL HISTORICAL ACCURACY AND GREAT CHARACTERS. I HAVE READ THREE OF THEM SO FAR AND LOOK FORWARD ...
Sword Song (The Saxon Chronicles, Book 4)
Bernard Cornwell
Harper
, 2008
Cornwell is the best!
For those of you who have faithfully read the entire Sharpe series, and all the other series, you know full well that Bernard Cornwell is a master author who never fails to fully involve you in everything he writes. I've read other reviews about his books, and such ...
Excalibur (The Arthur Books #3)
Bernard Cornwell
St. Martin's Griffin
, 1999
An exceptional conclusion to a good trilogy
This was a very good trilogy, but the finale, this book, was by far the best. The Winter King, book 1 and Enemy of God, book 2, were both well written, entertaining and interesting (I gave both of those 4 stars), but this book finishes off the trilogy with war, ...

Background for one of the Epic Heros in Literature
Sharpe is a hero in the Grandest of traditions. It is great to get the back-story to the series and the author' personal observations. A worthwhile read for any fan of Sharpe
Sharpe's Enemy (Richard Sharpe's Adventure Series #15)
Bernard Cornwell
Penguin Group
, 2001
Cornwell is simply the best
Bernard Cornwell remains at his best in this novel. Bernard Cornwell is a writer who's really good at what he does. The story is supenseful, the characters are interesting (Cornwell makes you either care about them or hate their guts),and the narrative is superbly ...
Sharpe's Havoc: Richard Sharpe & the Campaign in Northern Portugal, Spring 1809 (Richard Sharpe's Adventure ...
Bernard Cornwell
HarperCollins
, 2004
A Great Series
This is another entry on the Sharpe series. It is fun, entertaining and very readable. Cornwell's research is as excellent as usual. He takes some licenses for the shake of the story and continuity, but this is OK. Some people are outraged by the portrait of some of ...
Sharpe's Triumph: Richard Sharpe and the Battle of Assaye, September 1803 (Richard Sharpe's Adventure Series ...
Bernard Cornwell
HarperCollins
, 2000
Another great one
All I have to say is, "Incredible." I felt as if I was on the fronts lines of a British regiment and fighting side by side Sharpe.
Sharpe's Rifles (Richard Sharpe's Adventure Series #6)
Bernard Cornwell
Penguin (Non-Classics)
, 2001
Sharpe finally takes command
This enjoyable sixth series entry appears to have been written before the previous five. (And after eight later ones.) It's fun watching Cornwell make it all fit, no mean feat. The writing crackles with newness, not having yet settled into a lower-key long-distance ...
Sharpe's Prey: Richard Sharpe & the Expedition to Copenhagen, 1807
Bernard Cornwell
HarperCollins
, 2003
Excellent Historical Fiction
Cornwell is a master writer in style, depth of characters, and especially in his meticulous research of the period he is writing about. If learning history was always this much fun, I would have majored in it! Realistic descriptions of the carnage of war may spoil ...
