At 2:25 PM, I finished Pagan Lord! Now I have over 6 months wait for the Empty Throne!  Shall I roll up in a fetal position, or re-read Arthur’s trilogy and the Saxon tales again? Of course, I can in the interim urge Bernard Cornwell to give serious thought to the period from 525 AD to 865 AD. That has got to be an exciting period of time. Did the Britons fall back into barbarism, or were there glimmers of civilization hidden in the hills of Wales and lands of Cornwall? I do have work on my Civil War photography to think about! Anyway, it was an enjoyable time reading Arthur’s tales and the Saxon times.
