Cornwell at his very, very best. If you enjoyed the Harlequin series featuring Thomas of Hookton then you will love this. I read it within two days of receiving it and am gutted that it wasn't much longer even though it fully satisfied me as a true historical read. Cornwell is the master of this style of writing. I really enjoy Conn Iggulden and Valerio Massimo Manfredi but Cornwell is the master. My only wish is that Ridley Scott would take a story of Cornwell's like this one or the Harlequin series and make it into as visual a treat as the novels are writtenAzincourt. More power to your quill Mr. Cornwell and long may your stories keep us as enthralled as this.
