Why read it?
2 authors picked Lords of the North as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
There absolutely has to be a book from Cornwell’s Saxon series in any list concerning the Viking Age.

Bernard Cornwell is the master of the Historical Fiction war/adventure genre and his skills are brilliantly deployed in Lords of the North.
From Peter's list on historical fiction or fantasy about the Viking Age.

I love Bernard Cornwell. I’ve read many of his books and could recommend several. All of them are excellent historical fiction that brings you right into the time period and leaves you there. I can’t put his books down and I read…
From Angela's list on to read – over and over again.
