Description
A Saxon raised by Vikings. A pagan fighting for a Christian King. The conflict at the heart of a hero will be played out in the fight for England.
It is 877. Across the kingdoms of Britain the Danes are gaining strength. Uhtred of Bebbanburg, a pagan warrior, must decide who he will align with: the Vikings who raised him or Alfred, King of the West Saxons.
As the Danes make for Wessex and threaten to destroy the kingdom, Uhtred will forge an uneasy alliance with the king, to lead the last remaining Saxon army in a battle that will be a fight for the very existence of England.
Commentaires
Praise for The Pale Horseman:
"Bernard Cornwell is a literary miracle. Year after year, hail, rain, snow, war and political upheavals fail to prevent him from producing the most entertaining and readable historical novels of his generation." (Daily Mail)
"Cornwell's narration is quite masterly and supremely well-researched." (Observer)
"It is stirring stuff, and few writers are better qualified than Cornwell to do justice to the excitement of the times…Ninth-century Britain and a master of storytelling - it is a marriage made in heaven." (Sunday Telegraph)
"Cornwell's mastery of historical sources and his aptitude for battle scenes is well established…the language, and particularly the dialogue, is raw and unarchaic, rich in insults and Anglo-Saxon expletives." (Times Literary Supplement)

A huge fan of Uhtred's journey
I first watched the TV Show and fell in love with its character. As an avid reader of fictions and fanfictions, it was only normal I'd read the books of The Last Kingdom.
I listened to it when possible and read it when possible. I basically couldn't 'put down' the book.
If you're a fan of the show, the second book is the second half of the first season.
Absolutely loved it!

Nail biting stuff from start to finish
The TV series is good, but nothing compared to the book series.
The mixture of the fantastic story line, historical facts and humour make it a must read or listen.
However I would go for the audio book every time. Why? Jonathan Keeble. His voices give a face to every character in the story and they come alive in your minds eye.
Just fantastic!

Another Master Class by Jonathan Keeble
Jonathan Keeble does it again. As with the first book Keeble breathes live into the book and gives every character a distinct voice. It's really amazing and well worth listening too. He sounds like what the TV Uthred should have been like and I always dread having to go without him after book 5 as to me, he is the real Uthred. If you are listening to this than you already know you like the story, so no point in discussing it.

Lohnenswertes Nachfolger
Sprecher überzeugt wie im ersten Teil. Die Story ist leider nicht so vielschichtig wie die von Teil 1. Aber dennoch sehr gut

Spannung und Drama
steht dem ersten Teil der Saga in nichts nach. Ein echtes Vergnügen, das historisch gut recherchiert ist, auch wenn es die Hauptfigur so nicht gegeben hat.
