EXCALIBUR!

Thank you Hal!!!

I took today to finish Bernard Cornwell's Warlord Chronicles today.

It is the story of Arthur as seen through the experience of his closest warlords, Derfel ap Aelle.

In fact, it is Derfel's story with Arthur in the background as foreground kind of thing.

These are wonderful stories. The ending is so fine.

Words cannot convey.

Well, they can. They are in these books.

I think you can order them as a threesome, but if not, look for The Winter King, Enemy of God, and Excalibur.

You know, there is very little historical data on Arthur. So we get a very fresh view of the old standard characters. They are all there; Gweneviere, Lancelot, Gallehad, Merlin.

The writing is masterful and the satisfaction level is very very high.

I am not sure where I will go next, but more of Cornwell's work has to be on the list.

Cornwell is a born Brit who lives on Cape Cod.
