the 13th, and last, book in Bernard Cornwell’s Saxon Tales. The series spans the time from 866 CE to (at least) 937 CE. Protagonist Uhtred Uhtredson ages from 10 years old to 81. In some respects, Uhtred is the Dave Robichaeux of medieval Englaland, still physically dominating his opponents long after his contemporaries have retired or died.

I’ll finish it later today, and will have to find something to occupy me until the new Reacher novel comes out next week.
