Produktinformationen zu „The Burning Land “
Historical novels stand or fall on detail, and Mr. Cornwell writes as if he has been to ninth-century Wessex and back (The Wall Street Journal).
Klappentext zu „The Burning Land “
The fifth installment of Bernard Cornwell's New York Times bestselling Saxon Tales 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.At the end of the ninth century, with King Alfred of Wessex in ill health and his heir still an untested youth, it falls to Alfred's reluctant warlord Uhtred to outwit and outbattle the invading enemy Danes, led by the sword of savage warrior Harald Bloodhair. But the sweetness of Uhtred's victory is soured by tragedy, forcing him to break with the Saxon king. Joining the Vikings, allied with his old friend Ragnar-and his old foe Haesten-Uhtred devises a strategy to invade and conquer Wessex itself. But fate has very different plans.
Bernard Cornwell's The Burning Land is an irresistible new chapter in his epic story of the birth of England and the legendary king who made it possible.

Pressezitat
"Cornwell, a master of martial fiction, makes history come alive with his rousing battlefield scenes." - Margaret Flanagan, Booklist"Cornwell (Agincourt) has been described as a master of historical fiction, but that may be an understatement. Cornwell makes his subject material come alive. Better, his major protagonist is totally believable and human." - Robert Conroy, Library Journal
"Slathered in blood and gore, Saxon warlord Uhtred of Bebbanburg hacks his way through the ninth century in the exciting fifth installment to bestseller Cornwell's Saxon Tales series. . . . Vivid descriptions of merciless battlefield slaughter, rape, and destruction are artfully related by a masterful storyteller." - Publishers Weekly
