Hi Lori, Have you ever read the Saxon stories by Bernard Cornwell?? The first book of the series is titled "The Last Kingdom". He does his resarch well and his writing makes for a smooth read. I love how he draws you into the story. Wish you luck with your book hunt..!!! ]]> <![CDATA[Ron added 'The Billy Ruffian: The Bellerophon and the Downfall of Napoleon']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/55505796 The Billy Ruffian: The Bellerophon and the Downfall of Napoleon (Paperback) by David Cordingly

I have read Naomi's "Her Majesty's Dragon" and it was a fairly brisk read. Though I enjoyed the book her characters are kinda shallow and predictable.To me it is a bit more fantasy than historical but still a nice read. The setting is excellent and the Dragon Temeraire is developed fairly well. I will continue to read the series so the jury is still out on this one. Also, I read Cornwell's "The Last Kingdom" and I cannot say enough about this book.Excellent charaterization,solid storyline, he draws you into the enviroment very well,and with elements of humor and a well developed historical background this book should be on everyone's to read list. Also there is almost enough armchair sailor in it...!!! ]]> <![CDATA[Ron added 'The Last Kingdom']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/54903410 to: The Last Kingdom (The Saxon Stories, #1) by Bernard Cornwell
