The Burning Land The New Bernard Cornwell Book
The Author of the Sharpe series of books Bernard Cornwell releases his New Work, 'The burning Land' on the 1st of October in the UK. His previous book 'Azincourt' sold well entering the New York Times list at number 4, and staying there for a number of weeks, Azincourt reported to of sold over 100,000 copies in the UK in the first month.
Bernard is a prolific writer and has written over 40 books, including the Richard Sharpe series of books, and the much acclaimed Warlord series which gives a fresh and feisty retelling of the Arthur tale.
The Novel is the fifth instalment in the Saxon Chronicles series continuing on from The Last Kingdom, The Pale Horseman, The Lords of the North and Sword Song. It tells the continuing saga of Uhtred of Bebbanburg as he fights the threatening Viking forces on behalf on an ailing King Alfred.
The story will continue as Uhtred faces the potential invader and would be king of Wessex, Harald Bloodhair. Who due to King Alfred's weak health seeks the throne, as England appears weak and vulnerable to the land hungry Vikings. The Book reaches its climax as both forces prepare to meet for a decisive battle at Farnham in Sussex.
Similar to many novels this fall the release date has been timed to avoid competition from Dan Browns latest release 'The Lost Symbol', and 2 weeks space has been left to allow the book to receive the much needed promotional space both in bookstores and online.
The book will not be release in the USA until January which is after the busy Christmas period for reasons which are beyond our comprehension, unless books are not often bought as Christmas presents in the States.
About the Author The Richard Sharpe Series of Books written by Bernard Cornwell has been a firm favourite of fans of historical fiction for a number of years now, and has also been adapted into a TV drama featuring Sean Bean amongst others.
