I've read almost Cornwell's entire catalog, barring Sharpe and the boat mysteries. They're formulaic as hell, and after the third you'll see it coming. That being said, I love them. His enthusiasm for the history and settings shine so brightly, it's easy to ignore a lot of the quirks. I'm pages from the end of the newest Uhtred, and unless an arrow flies over the wall and kills him, there's going to be more coming. I want to see the The Last Kingdom show, but have good way of getting all the episodes.

Maybe he's a descendent of Derfel. More likely, he saw an awesome name while doing his research and it stuck with him, leading to looking more into it.

The Thomas of Hookton / Grail Quest series are a lot of fun. It's more jerking off about English longbowmen than shield walls, but otherwise checks all the same boxes.

Therein lies the joke. Has anyone read any of the non-sword / soldier books he's written? I know he's got several sailing yacht-themed mysteries, but I've never really bothered.
