A Good Read 16 Oct 2002

By Lawrence Londino

Format:Paperback

I think I've read everything Cornwell has written except his sea adventures and this was the first. The book is best when he's at sea where the sailing descriptions are riveting. Rossendale, 28th Earl of Stowey, has to confront weather, treachery and human frailty. I cry when his characters cry and his hero's courage and ruthlessness are wonderfully satisfying. If this isn't his best, then I'm really looking forward to reading the others.

Best of Cornwell's Sea Thrillers but no Sharpe! 4 Aug 2006

By Sam

Format:Paperback

'Sea Lord' is the last of the Sea based thrillers by Cornwell that I have got around to reading. They have ranged in style from Miami Vice-esque (Crackdown), crazy eco-warriors (Storm Child) and now a more sedate and traditional story of feuding families.

'Sea Lord' is the best of Bernard Cornwell's Sea books because it's the most like his other novels such as Sharpe. As a rule the characters he develops tend to be too chauvinistic and do not sit well in a modern day setting. However, in 'Sea Lord', he introduces us to an Earl who fled GB and his family after a Van Gogh painting was stolen. He has only returned to go to his mother's funeral and finds more than he bargains for when someone tries to murder him and he meets an enigmatic Italian Countess! As the chief suspect in the robbery will he be able to clear his name and save his own life?

This novel is very breezy and easy to read. The characters are likeable enough and the story just about holds its own. Problems lie in the fact that I knew who did it very quickly and that Cornwell always seems to write more suited to historic rather than contemporary settings.

This book was an average yet fun read. As an introduction to Cornwell's older; and less well known; sea books, a good start.

A good read 4 May 2007

By mun

Format:Paperback

As with some of the other reviewers, I knew who did it very quickly into the story. I have to say that it didn't spoil the experience at all. The plot was by no means predictable, but the first half was a bit slow as the protagonist doesn't really take assertive action against the bad guys until the second half of the book.

Cornwell has a fondness for the West Country - or at least that's apparent form his writing - and it shows here. South Devon gets as much attention as the supporting characters and if you live in the area you'll like the little nuances in the book.

If the book fails you as a thriller, it still has a lot to offer.

This book was described as "very good condition". It is brown on the sides, creased pages, creased cover and has dirty marks on it - not what I expect from Amazon. Read more

Review of Bernard Cornwell's Sea Lord

Once again Bernard Cornwell comes up trumps. An excellent read and an interesting contrast to his historical novels

An enjoyable, inspirational read
