Bernard Cornwell

Any fans here? After watching Sharpe on DVD I got totally hooked into the Sharpe books, which are even better! The full scale and drama of the Napoleonic wars is brought to life in vivid detail, and Sharpe and Harper are probably one of the best written duos ever. Cornwell's story telling and characters are second to none, and each battle is really gripping.

Azincourt and the Starbuck series are also excellent. I'm assuming there must be other fans out there?

I've read the Waterloo novel of his.
I like the battle scenes though I am really not sure if I'll read the rest.

I've read all the Sharpe Books, as well as the Warlord Chronicles, the Saxon Stories, the Grail Quest and Azincourt. I don't really read any books any more else I'd have probably bought the Starbuck Chronicles and read those as well.

Had to look up wiki to remember which ones I had and had not read lol.

I'm a great fan of the Arthur chronicles - a friend hooked me up. Sharpe's are good, although some of them are mediocre really My favourite is Sharpe's Trafalgar, Waterloo comes second, Sharpe's Company third I'd love a 100 mil remake of Sharpe's Company if it's more close to the book. Stil my favourite Cornwell Character is the one and only Lord Derfel Cadarn.

Oh man! cornwell? the saxon stories have to be the best Medieval fictional stories ive read. Strongly recommended

I'm currently reading The Winter King by him atm, it's very good so far and inspired me to download the mod for Rome:TW called Arthurian: TW

Read everything from him except the sharpe books.

I've read everything but the American Civil War series(I tried to read one of these but the setting doesn't appeal to me and I know next to nothing about that war or the geography, which bothers me when I read historical fiction). Great books, a lot of epic storytelling and detail.

I tried to get into Azincourt but never could, didnt think the characters were interesting enough, oddly they were written almost simutaneously with the Last Kingdom Novels which I absolutely love.

Sharpe novels are before my time but I loved the tv series.

I've read almost every one of his novels, except Azincourt, the latest Saxon Stories novel, and a few of the Sharpe series. I would have to say he's probably my favorite author for fiction. Nothing but page-turning awesomeness. My favorite of his would have to be the Warlord Trilogy.

I only have two books in the Warlord Trilogy Haven't read them yet though, I liberated them from my dad.

I've read everything he's written except for his modern era novels though I have one of those books one my "to read" list. I am on my second reading on the Warlord Trilogy and will start the last book Excalibur sometime next week most likely.

Read everything of his bar the Starbuck Chronicles and though I do like Sharpe, the Warlord Chronicles take the cake for me, the epicness of the major battles are just amazing. The emotional ending gets me still even after 4 or 5 times

Hear, hear! I've already read the trilogy three times, and am starting to crave to pick them up again.

I'm going to read the Arthur trilogy first, then I'm going to go out and buy the last one that I need for the Alfred trilogy.

Though after having read half of the first Arthur book, The Winter King, I'm massively pissed off at that last King Arthur movie. I mean wtf, they didn't even make him British, made him a Sarmatian ffs and one with a fetish for Rome and a total disregard for the Britons at that and he was only properly in charge of about half a dozen men in that movie.

Plus the "warrior woman" cliché which I loathe. Ie token hard female who is mocked by hard male, but then token hard female kicks ass and hard male develops grudging respect for aforementioned token hard female. If women were famed for fighting and being hard then there would have been more armies of wimmin through history. But I digress! The Arthur trilogy thus far is very excellent, really evocative of the fragmented conflict ridden nature of Dark Age Britain and paints a realistic, believable Arthur.

I'm currently reading Agincourt. It's not bad, thus far. I picked it up after reading many favorable reviews on this site, actually. If I like the way it ends, I plan on purchasing more of his work.

I've read everything of his but Sharpe series.

He's one of my favourite authors.
Right next to James Clavell.

Ive read most of his books and really enjoyed them. Only series I havent read is the starbuck chronicles as I cant really get into as I dont like the perspective, as a New Englander the idea of reading about a Boston born man fighting for the south is about as a appealing as reading about a boston born Nazi officer in WW2, just not somthing I could enjoy

I've read the first two Saxon novels, and am about halfway through the third. Really great stuff.
