I have fallen in love with Bernard Cornwell. I will admit it. His books are utterly captivating and true to life. I am a history buff and love how much time and energy he obviously commits to each story. The characters are real, the places are real and the plot and storyline familiar, yet different. I recommend this book and series to anyone who loves historical fiction that has been well done.

ENEMY OF GOD is like reading a tapestry. It's set in Britian about 500 AD, a time of disturst and trouble. Christianity is a growing threat to Druidism, land-hungry Saxons are invading, and Mordred,the infant king, is at risk.
Arthur ap Uther rises to leadership through sheer charisma and his belief in justice and peace. He and other characters interweave in the story as they regularly change loyalties, endure suffering, and try to unite Britian.
It's all recounted as fictional history in Cornwell's superb style.
