Irene, it is ‘Bamburgh’ a castle adjacent to Lindisfarne. Both are just East of the A1 south of Berwick upon Tweed. Now owned by the National Trust, and was latterally owned by William Armstrong – industrialist inventor and philanthropist. A long interesting history, please google it. Better still visit the area and the place

A worthy successor to the other 5. Come on Bernard, let’s have the sequel before we die of suspense !

This is a wonderful series as all of Bernard Cornwell series are. I have greatly enjoyed it and am awaiting the next installment. I have wondered about the interchange of Uhtred of Bebbanburg to Uhtred of Bambra or Bambria in the last book. I listen to the books on my i-pod so am not sure of the spelling. Wasn’t it Uhtred of Bebbanburg in the first books and Uhtred of Bambra or Bambria (sp) in the last?

In my view, for historical fiction with teeth you just can’t go past Bernard Cornwell and this, his latest series, is my favourite. With any series, as a new book is released, I try not to expect the impact the previous book had; I only need to be disappointed once to drop the series and sometimes even the author, but Bernard Cornwell’s, and particularly his Saxon Chronicles, just keep getting better and better. Actually I think he is improving with age.

I have read the first 5 and love everything about them, going to the shop in the next hour to buy this one…. I’m all giddy!

I collect this author and then am very slack about actually reading him… Must remedy that!

While I do enjoy the Tudors, I also like the grittier and more battle-focused sound of this book as well. I might do really well to pick up this series when I can. It sounds wonderful, and I am glad you enjoyed it!

Our copy arrived over the weekend. Hubby gets to read it first since he farther along in the series than I am, but glad to hear it’s a good one!

He writes such good battles. I’m glad to hear that the woman in this one is good because I don’t feel that is usually one of his strengths. Maybe I’ll bump it up my TBR list.
