Book Log 2007 #9: The Lords of the North by Bernard Cornwell
The continuation of Cornwell's series on Alfred the Great, although Alfred barely appears in this installment. Rather, we get to follow Uhtred as he travels to the north of what is now England as he travels to the north to work on some unfinished business, such as finding his step-sister and settling the score with some enemies.
Clearly this is going to be more than a trilogy, as there's still a fair bit of Alfred's reign to go (not to mention Uhtred's drive to regain his rightful inheritance). Looking at the website, it appears that this is now a series called the Saxon Stories, so it may be more in line with the Sharpe books as far as how long it'll go. In any case, it's a solid story, I'll be back for the next one.
