Recensione:

“Bernard Cornwell does the best battle scenes of any writer I’ve ever read, past or present.” (George R.R. Martin)

“Superior entertainment that is both engaging and enlightening....Historical adventures as smart and vigorous as Cornwell’s are in short supply.” (Washington Post)

“A big-bellied, bushy-bearded tale of 9th century England. Our hero is Uhtred, a good-hearted lout with a pleasantly sour disposition; he’s like a 9th century Han Solo....He endows the book with an unexpectedly complex, thoughtful soul.” (Time)

“A suavely rendered tale ... [brings] turbulent times to vivid life.” (Philadelphia Inquirer)

“Entertaining” (Arizona Republic)

“A crackerjack adventure tale from a master of the craft.” (Booklist)

“Filled with bawdy humor, bloodlust, treachery and valor, this stirring tale will leave readers eager for the next volume .” (Publishers Weekly)

“Great stuff, as always, from the master.” (Kirkus Reviews)
