War of the Wolf by Bernard Cornwell
Mr. Cornwell consistently captivates readers with his engaging and unpredictable storytelling in the latest installment of the Uhtred series. The narrative keeps you on the edge of your seat as unexpected twists and turns defy any anticipated progression of events.
In "War of the Wolf", Uhtred is older, wiser, and more cunning, but occasionally a little careless. He has also become somewhat more superstitious than he was years before. If anything, the Uhtred character is now even more seasoned, experienced, worldly-wise, and perhaps weary of the world.
But Uhtred is still very full of fire, and determination, and with an expert, well-honed, innate knowledge of battle-craft. If you have liked the preceding Uhtred stories, you will be very comfortable with this new book -- and perhaps a little surprised.
