replied on: 7/25/2005 10:26:39 PM Cornwell writes historicals. Very gritty, detailed historicals. Even his King Arthur books leave off the mythic/fantasy trappings. Not to my taste, being too bloody and violent for me, but he does what he does very well. He's got a lot of fans over on Chronicles, Rune. And he wrote the Sharpe books on which the TV mini-series starring Sean Bean is based. (I did like the episodes I've seen of that. Sad to say, violence goes down easier when the lead character has so much roguish charm.) |

replied on: 7/26/2005 9:51:54 AM Thanks Kelpie for the info on Cornwell On reflection I can see why I probably wouldnt of heard of his works. I dont tend to go for historical type stories.
