The correct order to read the books: The Last Kingdom. The Pale Horseman. The Lords of the North. The Burning Land. Death of Kings.

Burgess powerline bandsaw bbs-20 manual. A solid beginning. I eagerly begin book 2.

I became a fan of Mr. Cornwall's work with the 'Grail Quest Trilogy'. This is the first book that I have read of his since those 3 wonderful works. I have not been disappointed. This story is a wonderful telling of history from a first person past tense point of view.

A man looking back over his life and explaining the history of the invasion of England by the Dane's. Entirely accurate from what I have learned in my studies of the Vikings and the middle ages, the book is like a history book come alive.

There is no boring or tedious description of place or person, rather the information provided is of historic value or is necessary to move the plot forward. A wonderful beginning to a trilogy that I look forward to finishing. I am beginning book 2 as soon as I finish writing this review. I recommend that you get this book as soon as possible and have the other 2 lying in wait so you can continue the journey without having to wait for the next book to come in the mail. If you want an adventure,action,and drama.This is IT!!!

If you want an adventure, action, and drama.

I STARTED LOOKING FOR A NEW AUTHOR AND I HAVE FOUND ONE IN BERNARD CORNWELL. I CAN'T WAIT TO READ ALL OF HIS BOOKS. AND YOU CAN NOT FIND A BETTER BUY THEN ON EBAY!!!!!

First book in a series Takes you back to 866 and the formation of England. Well written without so many characters that you lose track of who is doing what to whom.

I did find the series on Netflix which helped me pronounce all of the names of the characters. The book is much better than the Netflix series though which is sort of slow. If you are an historical fiction fan, I would recommend this series to you. I am reading the second in the series now. Verified purchase: Yes Condition: Pre-owned •.
