Bernard Cornwell Bookgroup Blog

Bernard Cornwell - Medieval Historical Fiction - Saxon Series - Burning LandThe Bernard Cornwell Bookgroup blog discusses everything related to the historical fiction author, including: novels (past, present and future), biographical information, suggested non-fiction as it relates to a particular series (e.g. - The Oxford Illustrated History of the Vikings by Peter Sawyer to go along with the medieval-based Saxon Series), news and resource links. Bernard Cornwell’s next installment in the Saxon Series is The Burning Land, due out January of 2010 according to Amazon. I like the cover a lot (right).

    You’re welcome, Meghan. If they do a good job of posting new content, I think it will be a great resource for all things Bernard Cornwell.

    Thanks for the info. I’m a HUGE fan of Cornwell’s Sharpe series. They’re some of my favorite books.

    You’re welcome, Scott. You know I’ve never read his Sharpe series. I tend to stick with his medieval-based stuff. I definitely need to read that series though.

    Any Cornwell’s novel will become a movie? Saxon Series is amazing! Arthurs series to!

    Fabiano, I’ve heard they are making his latest novel Azincourt into a movie, to be released sometime within the next couple of years. Other than that, none of his novels have been made into movies, though the Sharpe series is also a television series starring Sean Bean.

    I love the Saxon Series. I still need to read the Arthur books. Actually, the Grail Quest Series was the first series I ever read by him, and I was hooked from then on.

    Let’s get it going! Carl Urban needs to play Utred in a Riddley Scott directed film based on Mr. Cornwell’s Saxon Series - I know I’m wishing, but tell me how awesome that would be!

    I agree, Jef. I’d love to see a movie made out of the Saxon series. I have heard they’re making a movie of Cornwell’s latest novel, Agincourt: http://www.cinematical.com/2009/07/16/bernard-cornwalls-agincourt-to-be-adapted/
