Slaget vid Azincourt är ett av världens mest berömda slag. En liten sjuk och hungrig armés seger över en fem gånger större fiende. Kung Henrik V beslutar att anfalla Frankrike för att hävda sin rätt som kung, men lider ett massivt nederlag i Harfleur. Trots detta tar han sin svårt sargade här vidare mot ett till synes oundvikligt nederlag. Den 25 oktober 1415 står hans 6 000 män öga mot öga med 30 000 franska soldater i Azincourt. Vi får följa den råa sanningen om medeltida krigsföring i all dess chockerande brutalitet, smuts och äckel genom ögonen på bågskytten Nicholas Hook. Han har tidigare varit legosoldat i franska armén, men vid hemkomsten till England blir han, istället för dödad pga sitt svek mot hemlandet, upptäckt och värvad av kung Henrik V. Hooks enorma skicklighet med bågen kommer snart till användning igen. Bågskyttarna kom att spela en avgörande roll för utgången av detta fasansfulla blodbad. Bernard Cornwell är en av världens största författare i disciplinen historiska spänningsromaner. Hans böcker har översatts till 20 språk och sålt i över 20 miljoner exemplar. Slaget är även förevigat av William Shakespeare i pjäsen Henrik V. "The greatest writer of historical adventures today" Washington Post
Eletään vuotta 892. Viikingit hyökkäävät Wessexiin, ja alkaa armoton sota. Kuningas Alfredin joukkoja johtaa jälleen kerran Bebbanburgin Uhtred, kuninkaan uskottu soturi, joka tanskalaisista juuristaan huolimatta on vannonut palvelevansa Alfredia. Sodan loppupuolella Alfredin terveys heikkenee, ja kuningas vaatii Uhtredia vannomaan uskollisuutta myös pojalleen Edvardille. Uhtred kieltäytyy ja suututtaa kuninkaan. Sodan loputtua Uhtred ei suostu enää palvelemaan Alfredia vaan lähtee pohjoiseen vanhan ystävänsä Ragnarin luo. Hänen aikomuksenaan on palata vihdoin kotiinsa Bebbanburgiin. Uhtred saa kuitenkin huomata, että kerran vannotut valat eivät unohdu koskaan. Palava maa on viides osa Bebbanburgin Uhtredin tarinaa. Edeltäjiensä tavoin se tarjoaa kiivastempoisia taistelukuvauksia, häikäilemätöntä juonittelua, uskollisuutta, petollisuutta, intohimoa ja vihaa. Palava maa kärjistää Uhtredia piinaavan ristiriidan äärimmäisyyksiin: kuuluuko hän tanskalaisten vai englantilaisten puolelle? Väkevä soturi joutuu tekemään raskaita valintoja ja kohtaamaan raastavia menetyksiä.
The sixth installment of Bernard Cornwell's 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 BBC America television series. As the ninth century wanes, England is perched once more on the brink of chaos. King Alfred is dying; with his passing, the island of Britain seems doomed to renewed warfare. Alfred wants his son Edward to succeed him, but there are other Saxon claimants to the throne--as well as ambitious pagan Vikings to the north. With the promise of battle looming again, Uhtred, the Viking-raised but Saxon-born warrior, whose life seems to shadow the making of England itself, is torn between competing loyalties. Uhtred's loyalty, and his vows, are to Alfred--not to his son--and despite long years of service to the old king, Uhtred is still reluctant to commit to Alfred's cause. His own desire is to reclaim his long lost ancestral lands and castle to the north. As the king's warrior he is duty-bound, but the king's reign is nearing its end, and his death will leave a vacuum of power. Uhtred is forced to make a momentous choice: either take up arms--and Alfred's mantle--to realize his dream of a united and Christian England, or be responsible for condemning it to oblivion. Death of Kings is a harrowing story of the power of tribal commitment and the dilemma of divided loyalties. This is the making of England magnificently brought to life by "the best historical novelist writing today" (Vince Flynn).--Dennis Lythgoe, BookPage
From New York Times bestselling author Bernard Cornwell--one of the greatest yet little-known skirmishes of the Revolution: the Penobscot Expedition, a battle that would reveal the true character of a legendary Revolutionary hero. This new novel takes place during the very early days of the rebellion, or the War of Independence, in 18th century Massachusetts before Washington and before the organization of a colonial army. A small British fleet with a few soldiers on board had sailed in to be met, to their surprise, with an overwhelming strength of local militia. Cornwell tells the story on both sides of the conflict, based largely on real figures, including of course Paul Revere (famous from the much later poem).
" A] page-turner.... Cornwell unleashes danger and violence, from both man and nature."--Atlanta Journal-Constitution"Bernard Cornwell is to the yachting adventure novel what ex-jockey Dick Francis is to the racetrack thriller."--Orlando SentinelThe New York Times bestselling author of The Fort, the Saxon Tales, and the immensely popular Richard Sharpe novels, Bernard Cornwell has been called, "perhaps the greatest writer of historical adventure novels today" (Washington Post). He demonstrates another side of his extraordinary storytelling talents with Stormchild, a contemporary tale of danger on the high and treacherous seas. The gripping story of a man who has lost almost everything in his life and now must race across perilous waters aboard his sloop Stormchild in a desperate attempt to rescue his daughter from the clutches of a shadowy cult and its mad leader. As relentlessly exciting as a Tom Clancy thriller, Stormchild is a masterwork of suspense from one of today's most versatile and accomplished popular novelists.
"A gifted storyteller and orchestrator of suspense."--Philadelphia Inquirer"Bernard Cornwell is to the yachting adventure novel what ex-jockey Dick Francis is to the racetrack thriller."--Orlando SentinelThe New York Times bestselling author of The Fort, the Saxon Tales, and the immensely popular Richard Sharpe novels, Bernard Cornwell has been called, "perhaps the greatest writer of historical adventure novels today" (Washington Post). He demonstrates another side of his extraordinary storytelling talents with Scoundrel, a contemporary tale of excitement and danger on high and treacherous seas. A gripping tale of an outlaw yacht captain who decides to cross the Irish Republican Army for a $5 million payday only to find himself pursued by intelligence agents, terrorists, and killers across perilous open waters, Scoundrel is a masterful thriller in the Tom Clancy vein--a masterwork of suspense from one of today's most versatile and accomplished popular novelists.
