Finished: Lords of the North, by Bernard Cornwell 📚. In this installment the Saxon-Dane Uhtred gets his revenge on some of the Danes who mistreated him way back in the first book. Meanwhile, Alfred and his allies continue to consolidate control over Britain. There are lots more in the series but I think I’m going to leave it here for now. It’s just not clicking with me the way some of Cornwell’s other books have.
Finished: Dreamers in Hell, ed. by Janet Morris - 16th book in this shared universe series, so you probably don’t want to start here. In this installment, Satan and a cast of zillions from across history (mainly people you’ve heard of) use a new energy source developed by Tesla to try to take the attack straight to heaven’t gates.
