Remember Viking Raids?
by elijah
Do you remember a time when the sight of ships offshore struck fear into your heart? When vikings invaded England and set about conquering her people? Of course you do not, unless you are many centuries old! But you will feel like you are right in the action when you read the Last Kingdom, the first book in Bernard Cornwell's series about deadly war in England in the 9th century.
Follow Uhtred, a man torn between his loyalties to a Saxon king he despises and the Danes that he respects, in a land torn apart by war and divided between the worship of the old gods and the new Christianity. There is enough blood and sword fighting to satisfy even a viking warlord!
