Book Log 2006 # 37: The Pale Horesman by Bernard Cornwell
The second book in the trilogy about Alfred the Great. While still focusing on Uhtred, the Englishman raised by Danes who can't choose one side over the other, we do get to see much more of Alfred in this book, as he is sent into hiding by the Danes and plans a way to start winning England back.
It's a pretty good middle book, avoiding getting too bogged down in either carrying the story forward or setting up the ending. Looking forward to the conclusion.
