"Reading Bernard Cornwall is a joy. Here the story of Alfred the Great and England in C9 is fantastic. His Sharpe series in Napoleonic times is not bad too."
"Manfredi has written the Alexander series that brings the man to life. Alexander led from the front like no other general. He is the man. This is his story."
"Scarrow's series follows the fortunes of Cato and Macro in the Roman army across many different countries. An easy read and enjoyable romp. Scarrow has done a very good Napoleon/Wellington series."
