Lords of the North by Bernard Cornwell

Lords of the North is the third book in Bernard Cornwell's story of Alfred the Great, told by a Saxon who was raised by Danes and hates but admires and serves Alfred. Typical Cornwell in the battle scenes. Very confusing in its plot convolutions and the elements of the story that circle around from the previous two books. Classic of ***, if you like Cornwell or are interested in that time period, you'll like this book.
