About this product

Product Information

The second installment of Bernard Cornwell's New York Times bestselling series chronicling the epic saga of the making of England, "like Game of Thrones, but real" (The Observer, London)--the basis for The Last Kingdom, the hit television series. As the last unvanquished piece of England, Wessex is eyed hungrily by the fearsome Viking conquerors. Uhtred, a dispossessed young nobleman, is tied to the imperiled land by birth and marriage but was raised by the Danish invaders--and he questions where his allegiance must lie. But blood is his destiny, and when the overwhelming Viking horde attacks out of a wintry darkness, Uhtred must put aside all hatred and distrust and stand beside his embattled country's staunch defender--the fugitive King Alfred. The Pale Horseman is a gripping, monumental adventure that gives breathtaking life to one of the most important epochs in English history--yet another masterwork from New York Times bestselling author Bernard Cornwell.

Take a walk back into history...
Great historical fiction series that doesn't make the the main character a superhero, but instead has him flawed like many people are. Through doing what Uhtred thinks is right he learns along the way that his actions leave a trail of integrity on some levels while his bullheadedness causes him problems that make up the individual. What was right for Uthred was not always what was right for others yet we're drawn to leaders and main characters that stand firm in what they believe to be right. I personally enjoyed getting insight into Alfred the Great and his decision making as well as his determination to see Christianity as the solid ground of the nation. Again, Alfred was a man and made mistakes which weighed on him throughout his life and tenure as King. Take a walk back into history ...

Book 2 continues in good form. Eager for books 3 & 4!
Uhtred, born a Northumbrian, raised a Dane, serving the king of Wessex against the Danes, some of whom who he has fought along side in his past. Such is the life of a 10th century warrior. This book continues the SAXON CHRONICLES, following book one, "The Last Kingdom". Although I would recommend that anyone reading this should read the first book, I would not say that it is absolutely necessary; but why skip book one when the story is so good? This book finds Uhtred, the rightful Ealdorman of a county that was taken from him when he was a boy and his father died. Uhtred was taken captive by the Danes (the Vikings) and raised by a Danish warrior named Ragnar. Uhtred grew with only two goals, to become a warrior like his adoptive father Ragnar, and to take back his land from his uncle who ... Uhtred, born a Northumbrian, raised a Dane, serving the king of Wessex against the Danes, some of whom who he has fought along side in his past. Such is the life of a 10th century warrior. This book continues the SAXON CHRONICLES, following book one, "The Last Kingdom".

This book finds Uhtred, the rightful Ealdorman of a county that was taken from him when he was a boy and his father died. Uhtred was taken captive by the Danes (the Vikings) and raised by a Danish warrior named Ragnar. Uhtred grew with only two goals, to become a warrior like his adoptive father Ragnar, and to take back his land from his uncle who stole the territory when Uhtred's father died. The entire story is actually used to tell the story of Alfred the Great, the king who saved what is now England, from the Danes who would have taken control of the entire island. This is wonderful historical fiction and I highly recommend it to anyone that enjoyed Bernard Cornwell's ARTHUR or GRAIL TRILOGIES. Mr. Cornwell is a master storyteller, weaving historical facts with fictional characters to tell an interesting and educational tale about our oft forgotten past. The middle ages, the dark ages, are my favorite historical period, and this captures that period beautifully; it is descriptive as needed, but not bogged down with trite details. This, as was the first book, is wonderful. I am eager to begin book three, "Lords of the North" and know that I will be on pins-and-needles as I await the release of book four in the series, "Sword Song", which is due to be released in October 2007 in the UK and in January 2008 in the US.
