Der sterbende König
Der sterbende König | Bernard Cornwell
6 posts | 22 read | 14 to read
Der König stirbt. Das Reich soll leben. Zum Ende des neunten Jahrhunderts droht England erneut im Chaos zu versinken. Uhtreds Herr, König Alfred, ist ein todkranker Mann. Krieg liegt in der Luft. Alfred will, dass sein Sohn Edward ihm auf dem Thron folgt. Doch die Krone begehren viele, Sachsen und heidnische Wikingerfürsten. Ist es für den Krieger Uhtred nun an der Zeit, das ihm geraubte Land im Norden wiederzuerobern? Nein. Denn auch wenn ihn kein Eid an den schwachen Königssohn bindet: Uhtred wird nicht zusehen, wie Alfreds Traum von einem starken England in Blut und Brand versinkt. «Von allen lebenden und toten Autoren, die ich je gelesen habe, schreibt Bernard Cornwell die besten Schlachtszenen.» (George R.R. Martin)

Good old Uhtred, he never lets me down!
These past few years I've got into the habit of spending some time in his company over the winter solstice. This year he had to return early, his presence being requested elsewhere.

In this outing, England teeters between becoming a Christian Saxon kingdom and a pagan Danish one: Uhtred is instrumental in determining which. (As if his monstrous ego were not sufficiently inflated already, God love him! 🤣)

Like many of you, I forgot I owned it and bought it twice, one of several I #dontrememberbuyingthis and so I have multiple copies. It happens when it's a fave author--I have an audio, paperback and hardback of the same James Rollins' book--or series like this one. #sohappyimnotalone in doing that! #aprilbookshowers
