Death of Kings by Bernard Cornwell

5.0

Such a great book. Our fictional hero is getting older but is still an awesome warrior amid the real events of Saxon England at the turn of the century in 899 AD. Admirably narrated, sadly this audiobook doesn’t include a historical note by the author. I am unsure if the military events recounted are accurate but certainly the historical background that Alfred died and Edward succeeded him are. Beautifully written with lots of information about life and military practice of the period. I can’t stop now — the next book is already queued.
