Cornwell's latest series focuses on the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Wessex,England during the 9th-century reign of Alfred the Great,his fierce opposition to the Danes and his determination to unite England as one country.The series,at of 2016,had ten books. Uhtred,the great warrior,is ordered,much against his will,to talk peace with the Vikings. He is sent into a trap. The men who control the king do not trust Uhtred,the Danes want him dead,and his only ally is AEthelflaed,Alfred's daughter,who has been condemned to a nunnery. Uhtred himself has been banished to an impoverished estate in Mercia,and must now watch as the churchmen around the king urge a policy of peace and conversion while the enemies of Wessex grow ever stronger on the border. The Danes talk peace,but they want war. They want Wessex,the richest Saxon kingdom.Alfred the Great,who has ruled for almost thirty years,is rumoured to be dying,and there are bad omens - 'seven kings will die' the sorceress had said to Uhtred,'and the women you love'. When Alfred dies the rivals for his crown will try to destroy each other,leaving Wessex open to the Viking onslaught.The survival of Alfred's kingdom - and indeed of the English nation - is at stake. 'Death of Kings' is an outstanding novel of how England was made and very nearly lost. The sixth of Cornwell's acclaimed 'Uhtred' series about the Anglo Saxon kingdoms,Alfred the Great,and the battles to repel the Danish invaders. Want more Bernard CORNWELL titles?

It is 1817 and the Old Bailey is one of London's busiest streets,for it is there,in front of Newgate Prison,that the crowds gather to watch the death throes of men and women on the gallows. Charles Corday,a portrait painter,has only seven days to live.He has been found guilty of murder,the murder of a Countess whom he was in the process of painting.He had been sentenced to hang. But political pressures make it expedient for the Home Office to confirm his guilt. The man appointed to carry out this investigation is Rider Sandman,whose qualifications for the job are non-existent.He was a soldier,he fought at Waterloo and he is famous as a cricketer,but now he is down on his luck.The offer of even a temporary post, promising a generous fee for not much effort, seems ideal. But when Rider Sandman begins his investigations,travelling from the stinking depths of Newgate to the perfumed drawing rooms of the aristocracy,he finds too much information that does not fit the verdict,and too many people determined to halt his activities. Sandman has a soldier's skills and he has remarkable,if unconventional,allies.But ranged against them is a cabal of some of the wealthiest and most ruthless men of Regency England. Sandman has a mere seven days to snatch an innocent man from the hungriest gallows of Europe.The hangman is waiting.It is a race against the noose. Want more Bernard CORNWELL titles?

When the English capture Calais,the war with France is suspended by a truce.But for Thomas of Hookton,there is no end to the fighting.He has to find the grail,the most sacred of Christendom's relics,and is sent to his ancestral homeland,Gascony,to engineer a confrontation with his deadliest enemy: his cousin,Guy Vexille. Once in the south country,Thomas and his men capture a castle.He becomes a raider,leading his archers in savage forays - gathering food and plunder - intended to draw his enemy to his arrows.But because he releases a girl condemned to burn as a heretic,his campaign is attacked by the church and the hunter becomes the hunted. Thomas goes to the valley of Astarac,still dominated by the ruins of his family's castle, where he believes that the grail may still be concealed,but there are many others apart from Thomas and his cousin who are searching for the same.The prize will guarantee victory in battle and the games of hide and seek are deadly. Thomas finally meets his enemy face to face,but in this deadly encounter,fate takes an unexpected hand.What had been a landscape of castles,monastries,vineyards and villages becomes death's kingdom and the need for the grail,as a sign of God's favour,is more urgent than ever.3rd novel in 'The Grail Quest' series of novels; following on from 'Harlequin' and 'Vagabond' sequentially.

Imprint: LONDON.HARPER COLLINS,2004. UK,8vo HB+dw/dj,1st edn.FINE/FINE.No owner inscrptn,and no price-clip to dw/dj. Bright,crisp,clean,subject b/w photographic illustrated dw/dj; with negligible shelf-wear and creasing to edges and corners - no nicks or tears present.Top+fore-edges bright and clean, contents bright,tight and pristine - no dog-ear reading creases to any pages' corners - an unread copy.Bright, unblemished,publisher's original,plain black cloth boards with bright,crisp, stamped silver gilt letters to spine/ backstrip and immaculate plain white endpapers.UK,8vo HB+dw/dj,1st edn,ix-xvpp+ 1-304pp [paginated] includes Martin Roach (Cornwell's manager) foreword,author prelude,14 chapters,16pp contemporary b/w photographs in 2 blocks of 8pp apiece; between pp80/1 and pp208/9 respectively, Hugh Cornwell career flow chart, discography,an index; plus [unpaginated] half-title+title pages,acknowledgements, picture credits for non-existent pictures (pp6-16) and contents list/table. Hugh Cornwell's autobiography draws on his unforgettable experiences,describing - in all its controversy - the story of his life.Hugh's career began long before The Stranglers,with his move to Sweden in 1974,where his life began to take a most bizarre path.There,he founded Johnny Sox, his prototype band,which he started with two American draft dodgers and two Swedes. These formative musical experiments are recounted here for the first time,together with Hugh's involvement with Kai Hansson,a notorious bank robber and the band's benefactor,who was Sweden's public enemy number one.Hugh returned to London just as punk was about to gatecrash the mainstream music party,and he describes both his own and The Stranglers' abrasive early years, through to their public acclaim. Throughout this time Hugh encountered a host of extraordinary people,including Malcolm McClaren,Joe Strummer,Debbie Harry and Hazel O'Connor,and he recounts the outrageous times he lived through with them.Walking away from The Stranglers when they were at the height of their fame was a decision no one - including Hugh - expected.Only with hindsight did he realize why he had to leave and since then he hasn't looked back,continuing to forge his own career in music. Hugh Cornwell,the original guitarist, singer and main songwriter in The Stranglers,enjoyed massive success with ten hit albums and 21 top forty singles in the 13-year period that he was in the band.He has revelled in his musical freedom ever since he stepped off the stage at The Stranglers' sold-out Alexandra Palace gig in the summer of 1990 and announced that it was the last time he would be fronting the group.Hugh has subsequently released three studio albums, 'Wired' (1993),'Guilty'(1997),and 'hi-fi' (2001).His new album 'Beyond Elysian Fields' has been produced by Tony Viscinti and is due to be released in the Autumn of this year (then 2004). Since April 2013,again in March 2015,and in this year too,the UK Post Office has altered it's Pricing in Proportion template,altering its prices,weight allowances,dimensions and lowered its qualifying compensation rates too! So,please contact seller,because of the weight/value of this item,for correct, insured shipping/P+p quotes - particularly ALL overseas buyers - BEFORE ordering through the order page!

Sharpe also has friends,notably a captain of the Royal Navy who is hunting the Revenant and who rescues Sharpe when all seems lost.The hunt turns into a stern chase as the French warship races home, carrying a treaty that could ignite India into a new war against the British.Yet when the Revenant encounters the combined French and Spanish fleets off Cadiz it seems that Sharpe's enemies have found safety,even as his enemies on board appear to have him trapped.Yet over the horizon is another fleet,led by Nelson,and Sharpe's revenge will come in a savage climax when the two armadas meet on a calm October day off Cape Trafalgar. Sharpe's Trafalgar introduces Richard Sharpe to the horrors of a battle at sea, and finds him at his most ruthless as he struggles, not just for revenge,but for a woman he loves.Author's 17th novel/title in the Sharpe series.

India,1803.It is four years since Richard Sharpe earned his sergeant's stripes at the siege of Seringapatam,and four years in which Sharpe seems to have discovered the easiest billet in the British army.But that comfort is rudely shattered when he witnesses a murderous act of treachery by an English officer who has defected from the East India Company to join the mercenary army of the Mahratta Confederation commanded by the flamboyant Hanoverian,Anthony Pohlmann.Sharpe is ordered to join the hunt for the renegade Englishman,a hunt that will take him deep into the enemy's territory where he will face temptations more subtle than he has ever dreamed of.And behind him,relentlessly stalking him,comes his worst enemy,the baleful,twitching Sergeant Obadiah Hakeswill who is determined to break Sharpe once and for all.The paths of treachery all lead to the small village of Assaye where Sir Arthur Wellesley,with a tiny British army,faces the Mahratta horde.Outnumbered and outgunned, Wellesley decides to fight, and Sergeant Richard Sharpe is plunged into the white heat of battle that will make Wellesley's reputation.It will make Sharpe's name too, but only if he can survive the carnage and killing frenzy,for it is at Assaye that he at last realizes his ambition and has a chance to seize it.

It is the spring of 1809 and a small British army is stationed in Lisbon when Marshal Soult begins the French invasion of northern Portugal.No one knows whether the British will fight or leave,but there is little choice for Lieutenant Richard Sharpe and his squad of riflemen, who are sent into the beleaguered city of Oporto to rescue a British mother and daughter who have chosen to stay rather than flee southwards.But what seems like a straightfoward mission becomes tangled in betrayal when Kate Savage disappears. Sharpe,with Sergeant Patrick Harper and a score of riflemen,is cut off in the city when the bridge over the river Douro is broken.They join forces with a group of fugitive Portuguese soldiers and try to fight their way back to the British lines, but their orders are overridden by a mysterious English officer,who instructs them to remain in northern Portugal. Colonel Christopher excels in high diplomacy and low cunning,and his activities lead Sharpe and his riflemen into treacherous danger.While the French are consolidating their hold on the north of the country,Sir Arthur Wellesley,the future Duke of Wellington,arrives to take command in the south.He immediately mounts his own counter-attack in a brilliant campaign that will rout the French.Sharpe becomes the hunter instead of the hunted and seizes the chance to rescue the missing Kate Savage and pursue the man who thought to sacrifice Sharpe and his riflemen for his own ambition.Amidst the wreckage of a defeated army,in the storm lashed hills of the Portuguese frontier,Sharpe takes a terrible revenge.Sharpe's havoc is a classic Sharpe story,a return to Portugal with Richard Sharpe in fighting form in the company of Sergeant Patrick Harper,Captain Hogan and Sharpe's beloved Greenjackets.

It is the spring of 1809 and a small British army is stationed in Lisbon when Marshal Soult begins the French invasion of northern Portugal. No one knows whether the British will fight or leave,but there is little choice for Lieutenant Richard Sharpe and his squad of riflemen,who are sent into the beleaguered city of Oporto to rescue a British mother and daughter who have chosen to stay rather than flee southwards.But what seems like a straightfoward mission becomes tangled in betrayal when Kate Savage disappears. Sharpe,with Sergeant Patrick Harper and a score of riflemen,is cut off in the city when the bridge over the river Douro is broken.They join forces with a group of fugitive Portuguese soldiers and try to fight their way back to the British lines,but their orders are overridden by a mysterious English officer,who instructs them to remain in northern Portugal.Colonel Christopher excels in high diplomacy and low cunning,and his activities lead Sharpe and his riflemen into treacherous danger. While the French are consolidating their hold on the north of the country,Sir Arthur Wellesley,the future Duke of Wellington,arrives to take command in the south.He immediately mounts his own counter-attack in a brilliant campaign that will rout the French.Sharpe becomes the hunter instead of the hunted and seizes the chance to rescue the missing Kate Savage and pursue the man who thought to sacrifice Sharpe and his riflemen for his own ambition.Amidst the wreckage of a defeated army, in the storm lashed hills of the Portuguese frontier,Sharpe takes a terrible revenge. 'Sharpe's Havoc' is a classic Sharpe story,a return to Portugal with Richard Sharpe in fighting form in the company of Sergeant Patrick Harper,Captain Hogan and Sharpe's beloved Greenjackets.Author's 19th novel in the Sharpe series.

Want more Bernard CORNWELL titles? For similar and other titles,please search my MODERN FIRSTS,MODERN FIRSTS2 and SIGNED catalogues. An uncommon but interesting,unusual ephemeral item for Sharpe collectors and a welcome addition to any collection and to the Sharpe canon in particular. This edition contains two stories,both written originally for consecutive Christmas editions (1994+1995) of newspapers. In the title story 'Sharpe's Christmas' Richard Sharpe,commanding the Prince of Wales's Own Volunteers,finds himself in a high,hard place with an enemy brigade on one side and a desperate force of Frenchmen fleeing their defeat in Spain on the other.Common sense suggests that he must avoid a fight,but it is Christmastime,and miracles are supposed to happen at the dark heart of the year,and so Sharpe makes a stand,and in doing so ends up giving the enemy an unexpected gift. The second story,'Sharpe's Ransom',is set in France,after the wars,when old enemies take Sharpe's woman and child hostage. There are local villagers who could help Sharpe,but those villagers dislike him because he is an Englishman who fought against them.So Sharpe has to make some friends,and make them fast,if the Christmas of 1815 is not to turn into tragedy. Since April 2013,again in March 2015,and in this year too,the UK Post Office has altered it's Pricing in Proportion template,altering it's prices,weight allowances,dimensions and lowered it's qualifying compensation rates too!

Sharpe also has friends,notably a captain of the Royal Navy who is hunting the Revenant and who rescues Sharpe when all seems lost.The hunt turns into a stern chase as the French warship races home, carrying a treaty that could ignite India into a new war against the British.Yet when the Revenant encounters the combined French and Spanish fleets off Cadiz it seems that Sharpe's enemies have found safety,even as his enemies on board appear to have him trapped. Yet over the horizon is another fleet,led by Nelson,and Sharpe's revenge will come in a savage climax when the two armadas meet on a calm October day off Cape Trafalgar. 'Sharpe's Trafalgar' introduces Richard Sharpe to the horrors of a battle at sea, and finds him at his most ruthless as he struggles,not just for revenge,but for a woman he loves.Author's 17th novel/title in the Sharpe series.

It is the spring of 1809 and a small British army is stationed in Lisbon when Marshal Soult begins the French invasion of northern Portugal.No one knows whether the British will fight or leave,but there is little choice for Lieutenant Richard Sharpe and his squad of riflemen,who are sent into the beleaguered city of Oporto to rescue a British mother and daughter who have chosen to stay rather than flee southwards.But what seems like a straightfoward mission becomes tangled in betrayal when Kate Savage disappears. Sharpe,with Sergeant Patrick Harper and a score of riflemen,is cut off in the city when the bridge over the river Douro is broken.They join forces with a group of fugitive Portuguese soldiers and try to fight their way back to the British lines, but their orders are overridden by a mysterious English officer,who instructs them to remain in northern Portugal. Colonel Christopher excels in high diplomacy and low cunning,and his activities lead Sharpe and his riflemen into treacherous danger.

It is the spring of 1809 and a small British army is stationed in Lisbon when Marshal Soult begins the French invasion of northern Portugal.No one knows whether the British will fight or leave,but there is little choice for Lieutenant Richard Sharpe and his squad of riflemen,who are sent into the beleaguered city of Oporto to rescue a British mother and daughter who have chosen to stay rather than flee southwards.But what seems like a straightfoward mission becomes tangled in betrayal when Kate Savage disappears. Sharpe,with Sergeant Patrick Harper and a score of riflemen,is cut off in the city when the bridge over the river Douro is broken.They join forces with a group of fugitive Portuguese soldiers and try to fight their way back to the British lines, but their orders are overridden by a mysterious English officer,who instructs them to remain in northern Portugal. Colonel Christopher excels in high diplomacy and low cunning,and his activities lead Sharpe and his riflemen into treacherous danger. While the French are consolidating their hold on the north of the country,Sir Arthur Wellesley,the future Duke of Wellington,arrives to take command in the south.He immediately mounts his own counter-attack in a brilliant campaign that will rout the French.Sharpe becomes the hunter instead of the hunted and seizes the chance to rescue the missing Kate Savage and pursue the man who thought to sacrifice Sharpe and his riflemen for his own ambition.Amidst the wreckage of a defeated army,in the storm lashed hills of the Portuguese frontier,Sharpe takes a terrible revenge.

The fourth of Cornwell's acclaimed 'Uhtred' series about the Anglo Saxon kingdoms,Alfred the Great,and the battles to repel the Danish invaders. THE LAST KINGDOM series is an historical novel series about the birth of England in the 9th & 10th Centuries. The protagonist of the series is Uhtred of Bebbanburg,born to a Saxon lord in Northumbria. He is captured as a child and adopted by a Danish warlord.The name of the fictional protagonist comes from the historical Uhtred the Bold,and Cornwell is a descendant of this family. The story begins with the conquest of all but one of the major Saxon kingdoms by the Danes, with Wessex,the last kingdom,nearly overrun. Alfred the Great,King of Wessex,rallies his forces and begins the long struggle to fulfill his ambition of uniting all English speakers in one realm.Uhtred,despite his inclinations otherwise,repeatedly fights and schemes to bring about Alfred's dream over the course of a long life. The year is 885 and England is at peace, divided between the Danish kingdom to the north and the Saxon kingdom of Wessex in the south. Uhtred,the dispossessed son of a Northumbrian lord,warrior by instinct,Viking by nature, appears to have settled down. He has land,a wife,two children and a duty given him by Alfred to hold the frontier on the Thames.But trouble stirs,a dead man has risen and new Vikings have arrived to occupy London. Their dream is to conquer Wessex,and to do it they need Uhtred's help. Alfred has other ideas.He wants Uhtred to expel the Viking raiders from London.It is a dangerous time and Uhtred must decide how much his oath binds him to the king. Other storm clouds are gathering. AEthelflaed - Alfred's daughter - is now married,but a cruel twist of fate means that her very existence becomes a threat to Alfred's kingdom.It is Uhtred,half Saxon,half Dane,whose uncertain loyalties must now decide England's whole future. 'Sword Song' tells the story of the making of England and,like all of Bernard Cornwell's previous novels,is based on true events.It is a gripping story of love,deceit,and violence,set in an England of tremendous turmoil and strife, yet one galvanised by a small flicker of hope that Alfred,the great king of Wessex,may prove a force that lasts. Uhtred,his greatest warrior,has become his sword,a man feared and respected the length and breadth of the land,his Lord of War. Want more Bernard CORNWELL titles?

Into this volatile atmosphere comes Scarpetta's ingenious,rebellious niece Lucy,an FBI intern with a promising future in Quantico's computer engineering facility - until she is accused of a shocking security violation.While coming to terms with Lucy,Kay must conduct a grisly forensic investigation at a clandestine research facility in Tennessee known as the Body Farm. There she will find more answers to Emily Steiner's murder - and evidence that paints a picture of a crime more horrifying than she imagined . . .

THE LAST KINGDOM series is an historical novel series about the birth of England in the 9th & 10th Centuries. The protagonist of the series is Uhtred of Bebbanburg,born to a Saxon lord in Northumbria. He is captured as a child and adopted by a Danish warlord.The name of the fictional protagonist comes from the historical Uhtred the Bold,and Cornwell is a descendant of this family. The story begins with the conquest of all but one of the major Saxon kingdoms by the Danes, with Wessex,the last kingdom,nearly overrun. Alfred the Great,King of Wessex,rallies his forces and begins the long struggle to fulfill his ambition of uniting all English speakers in one realm.Uhtred,despite his inclinations otherwise,repeatedly fights and schemes to bring about Alfred's dream over the course of a long life. Uhtred,Northumbrian born,raised a Viking and now married to a Saxon,is already a formidable figure and warrior.But at twenty he is still arrogant,pagan and headstrong,so not a comfortable ally for the thoughtful,pious Alfred.But these two,with Alfred's family and a few of Uhtred's companions,are apparently all that remains truce. It is the lowest time for the Saxons. Defeated comprehensively by the Vikings who now occupy most of England,Alfred and his surviving followers seek refuge in Athelney,a tidal swamp to which Alfred's kingdom has shrunk.There,using the marsh mists for cover,they travel in small boats from one island to another,hoping to regroup and find more strength and support. Uhtred is still attracted to rejoining his Danish foster brother and the victorious Vikings.But he finds a growing respect for the stubborn leadership of Alfred,to whom Uhtred's support is essential if the Saxon strength is to be rebuilt and battle joined with the enemy. 'The Pale Horsemen' is a splendid story of divided loyalties and desperate heroism,with a wonderful range of characters from Vikings to British kings in their Cornish fortresses from political but passionate priests to enduring fishermen and farmers striving to survive as the battle sweeps over them.Uhtred and Alfred, Vikings and Saxons,are a winning combination for Bernard Cornwell.

When she returns after the show to the apartment where she and Benton live,she finds a suspicious package - possibly a bomb - waiting for her at the front desk. Soon the apparent threat on Scarpetta's life finds her embroiled in a deadly plot that includes a famous actor accused of an unthinkable sex crime and the disappearance of a beautiful millionairess with whom Lucy seems to have shared a secret past . . .

THE LAST KINGDOM series is an historical novel series about the birth of England in the 9th & 10th Centuries. The protagonist of the series is Uhtred of Bebbanburg,born to a Saxon lord in Northumbria. He is captured as a child and adopted by a Danish warlord.The name of the fictional protagonist comes from the historical Uhtred the Bold,and Cornwell is a descendant of this family. The story begins with the conquest of all but one of the major Saxon kingdoms by the Danes, with Wessex,the last kingdom,nearly overrun. Alfred the Great,King of Wessex,rallies his forces and begins the long struggle to fulfill his ambition of uniting all English speakers in one realm.Uhtred,despite his inclinations otherwise,repeatedly fights and schemes to bring about Alfred's dream over the course of a long life. Uhtred of Bebbanburg has won back his ancestral home but,threatened from all sides by enemies both old and new,he doesn't have long to enjoy the victory. In Mercia,rebellion is in the air as King Edward tries to seize control.In Wessex,rival parties scramble to settle on the identity of the next king and across the country invading Norsemen continue their relentless raid. Uhtred,a legendary warrior,admired and sought as an ally,feared as an adversary finds himself once again torn between his two heritages: fighting on what he considers the wrong side, cursed by misfortune and tragedy and facing one of his most formidable enemies.Only the most astute cunning,the greatest loyalty and the most spectacular courage can save him. For decades,Uhtred has stood at the intersection between Pagan and Christian,between Saxon and Viking,between the old world he was born into and the new world being forged around him.The pressure on him as father,as politician and as warrior grows as never before.
