Any of you ever read the Warlord series by Bernard Cornwell?

[Radagast]

The Winter King, Enemy of God and Excalibur: the Novels of Arthur?

I loved them; they capture the period so well. What did anyone else think?

[Radagast]

None of you?

[Wayfarer]

I've read them. ;)

Derfel is one of my favorite characters. Very cool.

But I did think that some of it was gratuitously coarse.

[Radagast]

Perhaps, but it served a purpose. The realism is incredible and the 'coarseness' was part of that.

[The Grim Squeaker]

I love those books! they rock! they were a bit gory though!

[TwirlingString]

What;s the warlord, I've never heard of them

[osszie]

absoutely loved the warlord books............thougt Cornwell gave one of the best interpretations of the merlin i have ever read

Did anyone else think that Derfel..........brilliant as he is.........is Cornwell's interpretation of Sir Bedeviere?

[XRogue]

I read them, but I'll have to re read them and get back to you. Good Merlin, tho. That I do remember.
