From Bernard Cornwell, the <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author whom the <em>Washington Post</em> calls "perhaps the greatest writer of historical adventure novels today," comes a saga of blood, rage, fidelity, and betrayal that brings to center stage King Alfred the Great, one of the most crucial (but oft-forgotten) figures in English history. It is King Alfred and his heirs who, in the ninth and tenth centuries, with their backs against the wall, fought to secure the survival of the last outpost of Anglo-Saxon culture by battling the ferocious Vikings, whose invading warriors had already captured and occupied three of England's four kingdoms.</p>
Bernard Cornwell's epic novel opens in <small>A.D.</small> 866. Uhtred, a boy of ten and the son of a nobleman, is captured in the same battle that leaves his father dead. His captor is the Earl Ragnar, a Danish chieftain, who raises the boy as his own, teaching him the Viking ways of war. As a young man expected to take part in raids and bloody massacres against the English, he grapples with divided loyalties -- between Ragnar, the warrior he loves like a father, and Alfred, whose piety and introspection leave him cold. It takes a terrible slaughter and the unexpected joys of marriage for Uhtred to discover his true allegiance -- and to rise to his greatest challenge.</p>
In Uhtred, Cornwell has created perhaps his richest and most complex protagonist, and through him, he has magnificently evoked an era steeped in dramatic pageantry and historical significance. For if King Alfred fails to defend his last kingdom, England will be overrun, and the entire course of history will change.</p>

几乎没有糖衣，全是炮弹……铁血当中的温情因为难得一见而越发动人。电视剧组啊快去请锤哥来演两代Earl Ragnar吧！那既视感简直不能更强烈！再把RA请来染个金发去演青年/成年Uhtred！真这样的话你们拍多少我就看多少，有多少周边买多少周边！……
评分Seems a bit overrated...
评分前半本太罗嗦，这样虐先祖的作者也是罕见......然而谁关心男主今天又怎么灾星高照，叫Ragnar的都可爱！有声书的朗读者口音有点萌。
评分大不列颠的绅士们就喜欢把什么都归结为destiny是吧！一秒想到了梅林传奇。
