Critic reviews

Praise for Bernard Cornwell:

'Strong narrative, vigourous action and striking characterisation, Cornwell remains king of the territory he has staked out as his own' SUNDAY TIMES

‘Like Game of Thrones, but real’ OBSERVER

'Blood, divided loyalties and thundering battles' THE TIMES

‘The best battle scenes of any writer I’ve ever read, past or present. Cornwell really makes history come alive’ George R.R. Martin

‘He’s called a master storyteller. Really he’s cleverer than that’ TELEGRAPH

‘A reminder of just how good a writer he is’ SUNDAY TIMES

‘Nobody in the world does this better than Cornwell’ Lee Child

‘Cornwell’s skill [is] in ageing his warrior-hero, who now creaks as he fights and is haunted by those he has loved and lost’ THE TIMES

‘The master still adding to his wonderful Saxon Chronicles’ SUNDAY TIMES MAGAZINE

‘Legendary … excellent storytelling, as ever’ SUNDAY SPORT

'A violent, absorbing historical saga, deeply researched and thoroughly imagined' WASHINGTON POST

it was a pleasure to hear of the characters and their nuances from the past books. Especially as it was thought there was no way back for Utread and friends. The comic moments also ring true as all are obviously good life long friends in a time when life for most was terribly short. I am hoping for more.

Good to meet again with old friends

The writer holds you, clutching your fast beating heart in your mouth. Every sentence full of our appalling and dangerous past, with a soul searching flashlight, picking the happiest and saddest moments with the presion of an established master craftsman at his finest. Wicked story!

Stunning story
