The fifth novel in Bernard Cornwell's epic and bestselling series on the making of England and the fate of his great hero, Uhtred of Bebbanburg. BBC2's major Autumn 2015 TV show THE LAST KINGDOM is based on the first two books in the series. In the last years of the ninth century, King Alfred of Wessex is in failing health, and his heir is an untested youth. The Danes, who have failed so many times to conquer Wessex, smell opportunity... First comes Harald Bloodhair, a savage warrior leading a Viking horde, who is encouraged to cruelty by his woman, Skade. But Alfred still has the services of Uhtred, his unwilling warlord, who leads Harald into a trap and, at Farnham in Surrey, inflicts one of the greatest defeats the Vikings were ever to suffer. This novel, the fifth in the magnificent series of England's history tells of the final assaults on Alfred's Wessex, that Wessex survived to become England is because men like Uhtred defeated an enemy feared throughout Christendom.

The Burning Land
Typical Cornwell novel. Well written, well researched, descriptive and compelling account in a series about Britain during the reign of Alfred the Great.

MORE!!!MORE!!!!PLEASE...MORE!!!!
Mr.Cornwall's graphic ability to time warp the reader to the action and make you feel, smell and taste all that transpires, is without equal. Please tell me the adventures of UHTRED will have another novel in the near future...please.
