I was recommended The Last Kingdom, the first book of the Saxon Stories, by Bernard Cornwell because they're fun to read, pretty well written, and apparently the BBC is making a show about the series. I was traveling this weekend so I bought the first two in the series to read on a plane/over the weekend. After reading the first one on the plane and landing I ended up stopping by bookstore and buying the next three. They're really fun books and if you have any interest in historical fiction, I definitely recommend them.

Has anyone read any of his other stuff? I noticed he has quite a few different books, all about different parts of English history, and I may be interested in picking up some of them when I finish the Saxon stories.

He wrote a three part series about King Arthur. I think the first book is Enemy of God. It's one of my favourites and a fun quasi-historical story about post-Roman Britain. I have the Saxon Stories on my shelf to read, I should go through them sometime.

Endurance. 70 pages in and I have a sneaking suspicion that I'm going to be in for a real doozy.

Do you mean this? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00IC8VF10/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1

I read it a couple of years ago and liked it a lot. I didn't even realise I owned it until someone here mentioned reading it, but it was a nice surprise.
