Bernard Cornwell recommends
The Hundred Days (1998) (Aubrey / Maturin, book 19) Patrick O'Brian "O'Brian is far and away the best of the Napoleonic storytellers and The Hundred Days is one of the best of the series: a classic naval adventure, crammed with incident, superbly plotted and utterly gripping...This is O'Brian at his brilliant, entertaining best and when he is on this form the rest of us who write of the Napoleonic conflict might as well give up and try a new career. Fans of the series will need no encouragement to buy this book, but if you are new to Aubrey and Maturin then this is as splendid an introduction as you could wish for." | Havoc's Sword (2003) (Alan Lewrie, book 11) Dewey Lambdin "Stunning naval adventure, reeking of powder and mayhem. I wish I had written this series." | A Hostile Place (2003) John Fullerton "Thriller writers wake up, a talent has arrived. " | |
The Eagle and the Wolves (2003) (Cato, book 4) Simon Scarrow "It is my fervent hope that Simon Scarrow falls under a bus, or drowns or eats a bad mushroom because I really don't need this kind of competition. It's a great read, full of excitement." | Glory in the Name (2004) (Samuel Bowater, book 1) James L Nelson "It is, by far, the best Civil War novel I have read; reeking of battle, duty, heroism and tragedy. It's a triumph of imagination and good, taut writing..." | The Four Days in June (2006) Iain Gale "A powerful novel of men at war. A triumph." | |
The Whale Road (2007) (Oathsworn, book 1) Robert Low "A company of warriors, desparate battles, an enthralling read." | Midwife of the Blue Ridge (2008) Christine Blevins "A terrific book! A riveting tale of love, struggle, and savagery on America's colonial frontier." | The Winter Sea (2008) Susanna Kearsley "A deeply engaging romance and a compelling historical novel. A marvellous book." | |
Terminal World (2009) Alastair Reynolds "A galaxy-sized imagination allied to real story-telling." | Zulu Hart (2009) Saul David "A first-rate historian, now a masterly story-teller." |
