You have made me a novel addict. I’m already an History Nut and generally prefer reading real histories. But in your case, I make an exception. You are right up there with Shirra and Alan Eckert in my book. My very favorite is the Saxon Series and I’m not devouring the Burned Land. Hope MORE episodes with Uhtred of Bebbenburg are written. (I think he should have stuck with the Danes. The Alfred the Great you portray would make ME renounce Christianity for Odin and THor!) Thomas Zaccone
