Book 2 of Robyn Youngs crusade trilogy carries on perfectly from the first book. The same comments can be made as the first, a lot of time is covered and a lot of detail on the characters and story. It is clear she does a lot of research into this time period, you really feel you are there. The characters as well, you feel like you know them inside and out by the end of the book, feeling their pains and pleasures with them. If you are a fan of the first, you will really enjoy this, however I can see how some people may find this a little heavy going. The book itself is actually split into 3, so you almost get 3 for the price of 1 with these, some more unscrupulous authors may have even made 3 out of this for more money. Great read, great story ... Read More:

This is the third book I have read by Elizabeth Chadwick, the others being 'The Greatest Knight' and 'The Scarlet Lion', and I can say this is the best yet. Chadwick does for English medievel history what Wilbur Smith has done for colonial africa - educate. Highly Recommended.

I was majorly dissapointed when I finished reading this book earlier on this afternoon. The story has the promise of being extremely exciting and the ending highly anticipated. When you come towards the end of the book you realise that a lot of loose ends will not be concluded despite the 600+ pages and the story doesn't seem to be coming towards a climax with 10 pages to go. This book had the makings of a book I wouldn't put down but sadly I wish I hadn't picked it up.

The second outing for Flashy doesn't bowl along at quite the same frenetic pace as the first. The writing is a little more reflective and descriptive (i.e. better), but unfortunately the plot is not so engaging. The real appeal of the first book was how the anti-hero's adventures were interwoven with real historical events. Here the setting and most of the events feel just a bit too made-up. Still very readable though and some of the characters are fun; the young Bismarck and an apparently real-life femme fatale called Lola Montez. Looking forward to reading the next one.

This is a real transition novel, here Sharpe finally begins to believe that maybe he should be an officer. It contains the usual coincidence that Sharpe is once again conveniently in the right place at the right time in Historic terms, the usual love interest and the fast paced action. A worthy addition to the Sharpe series.

Sharpe's Fortress: Richard Sharpe and the Siege of Gawilghur, December 1803by: Bernard Cornwell March 06, 2000 Best Selling > Books > History and Historical Fiction |

Sharpe's Fortress is the third of the stories about Richard Sharpe in India. If you haven't read Sharpe's Tiger and Sharpe's Triumph, I strongly urge you to read those books before this one. You'll like them, and they provide very helpful background for the events in Sharpe's Fortress.
After saving Sir Arthur Wellesley's life at the Battle of Assaye (described in Sharpe's Triumph, book two in chronology in the series), Richard Sharpe was raised out of the ranks into the officer class as an ensign. In Sharpe's Fortress, it becomes obvious that he's arrived in no man's land in a Scottish unit. The Scots don't want any English in the unit; most ensigns are about 12 years old and don't do anything except watch; and men in the ranks are jealous of Sharpe's promotion. ...

Starts off okay and then falls flat on its back into a self indulgent nonsence of vickings fighting in the deserts of North Africa.

I have to confess to having been sat on a copy of this for a year or so. Bought it on a whim then its rather unexciting title and cover meant it sat maturing on my shelves till a recent trip to the old Viking town of York.
Suitably inspired I pulled it down from the shelf but perhaps not with the greatest of expectations. So I was very pleasantly surprised when I finally set off on my journey with 'Orm', the young lad who falls in with the 'Oathsworn' a group of mercenary veteran Vikings under the leadership of the grim 'Einer the Black'. Low writes in quite an understated way. He's not one for the over use of superlatives or 20 page battle scenes. What he does do is include a bit more detail and authentic Norse culture and terminology than many of his peers. ... Read More: >>More Details |

cynthia harrod-eagles continues the tale of the Morlands during World War 1. Her characters are real and as I have read the full series they are like family to me. The war scenes are descriptive and harrowing and the twists in the story never fail to amaze. Very readable either on its own or as part of the series. Highly recommended
