Bernard Cornwell.

I love this guy. His books are simply fantastic - they have an awesome plot, they're historically accurate, the battles are very well narrated... he just rocks. I own 7 of his books : 3 of the 5 Saxon Stories, 2 of the 3 Trilogy of the Graal books ,Stonehenge and Azincourt. I'm willing to find The Warlod Chronicles: people say they rock.

So, who else loves BC?

I've read 4 of the 5 Saxon stories - they're ing awesome. I neeeeeeeed to get the 5th, but I can't find it in any bookstores near me. I guess I'll have to order it But its totally worth it.

Order it off Amazon, .co.uk or .Com. Cheaper than bookstores.

I have only read the Saxon chronicals tried to read Agincourt but wasnt interested.

Going to buy his Fort novel soon... looks really interesting. Read a novel about the American Revolutionary war and was bored to death but hopefully Bernard can interest me.

And the Graal Trilogy and the single books? I have two of the single books: Stonehenge and Azincourt. Haven't read azincourt yet, bought it today. But stonehenge is freakin' awesome.

I like his books as well. I've read 1-4 of Saxon series, all of Grail series, and Agincourt.

I've read just every one of his books, save his earliest works and modern setting ones.

I like the Grail Quest and Saxon series. I forgot about the Grail Quest series; I only read the first book. I think I'll keep an eye out for the Warlord Chronicles next time I am book hunting. Some of the Sharpe novels are good but many of them feel too rushed and especially formulaic. Bernard Cornwell is still a good writer though.

How about The Fort? Really shows the idiocy of some continetal commanders during the war.

The Fort wasn't his best. It wasn't very well paced and characters were a bit shallow. Apart from that it was a good enough read and very insightful into the American Revolution painting it in a different light compared to the hollywood movies.

Read only Azincourt. I found it cool because I never read historical-fantasy stuff like this before, but I wasn't really impressed by the writing and characters.

I'll prolly read more if people praise him so much.

Well prob not going to buy it now. I had my doubts on any novel written in that area.

I've only read Waterloo, recently.. It's good enough to make me at least peruse his other works.

As my name suggests I rather like his books. Liked the warlord chronicles, sharpe series and the grail quest especially. I found Guy Vexille to be one of my favorite villains

I've read every single one of his books. ALso I believe they are going to use his azincourt book to make a movie about the battle.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Michael Hurst the creator of the hit BBC television series The Tudors is now writing the screenplay for an exciting new film on another English ruler: Henry V and the battle of Agincourt.
Agincourt will have an estimated budget of £28 million and this British film will explore the famous Medieval battle which took place in 1415, where a small and besieged English army of only some 6,000 men led by Henry V were confronted by a French army numbering up to 50,000 strong and thanks to the legendary English long bowmen pulled off one of the most celebrated military victories in history.
The film promises to be a gritty and more realistic depiction of the campaign than previous films adapted from William Shakespeare’s Henry V play. It will be produced by Luc Roeg, the son of Nicolas Roeg, the famous British director.
Hirst will be adapting the film from the novel Azincourt by Bernard Cornwell, one of the leading historical fiction novelists and creator of Sharpe. Roeg will also draw on the historian Juliet Barker’s account Agincourt: the King, The Campaign, The Battle. Filming is expected to commence next year

Read eleven of his books. The Grail quest (3), the warlord chronicles (3), the saxon stories (4, have to buy the fifth) and Azincourt.

He is my favorite contemporary writer.

His books have some ing gold moments as well lol. Love when that hermit "blesses" Hild in book 3 of Saxon Chronicles.

Hey... is the Burning Land the last of the Saxon Stories series?

Love his work, all of it is great reading and never gets old. I've read the Warlord Chronicles at least 6 or 7 times, every time with the same enjoyment.

It's the latest release from the series, but he's still got a fair few more to write for the series, as I believe he intends this series to stretch for up to ten novels.

The next part of the Saxon Stories comes out sometime this year, according to Wiki... can't wait!

Well it follows history pretty close so judging by the protagonists age and the way the story is being told we can expect another good 50 years in the life of the character I forget his name.
The author has a lot of material to choose from for future novels in this series.
