3.0étoiles sur 5 Predictable Cornwell, Oct. 31 2009

Ce commentaire est de: Burning Land (Paperback)
Bernard Cornwell's literary sausage maker is again in action as the author returns to his Anglo-Saxon adventure series starring Uhtred of Bebbanburg. In The Burning Land we see our hero a few years older but no less resentful of his oath to serve Alfred of Wessex and no less hostile to Christianity. To no one's surprise the plot involves Uhtred's desire to return north to recover his lost lands and the necessity to defend southern England from a series of Danish incursions. A rogue's gallery of villains -- Vikings, witches and traitors -- complete the cast.

Predictably, most priests are an unsavoury lot. In the first two pages we are treated to a description of miserable-looking monks, one slack-faced with fat lips and a fatter goitre, one copying a forged land grant and the other penning a fable robbing a decent pagan of his rightful share of glory. Alfred, the only English king to deserve the title of the Great is depicted as priest-ridden, superstitious and a master conniver. Christianity itself is described as a disease that spreads like the plague.

Predictably, the battle scenes are exciting and the gore is described in great detail -- spurting blood, crunching bone, spilled entrails are inevitable when the seemingly invincible Uhtred smites invading Danes, treacherous Saxons or greedy Frisians. Betrayal, as usual, is on every hand and beautiful women, as usual, make their way to Uhtred's bed.

Though we have seen it all before, Cornwell's story-telling is still decent entertainment value. One wonders just how much better he could be if he recycled his old material less and created some fresh scenarios but if you're stuck in a line waiting for a flu vaccine or cooling your heels in an airport terminal you could do worse than be reading The Burning Land.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Not quite as good as the previous 4 books, Janv. 27 2010

A fine addition into the series. I found it a little shorter than the previous books and a little less descriptive which is really a step down form the previous parts of this series. I really do hope there is more books in the series to come....
