Wolf of Wessex

At the close of this story Harffy gives thanks and acknowledgments to many including the moderator of a Bernard Cornwell fan club. While the thanks is no doubt deserved, it is a strong indicator of just whom will enjoy this novel and the coming series. If you have enjoyed Cornwell's stories of the adventures of Uhtred of Bebbanburg then there is little chance that you wouldn't also enjoy Harffy's story here. Wolf of Wessex is set in a similar period, though precedes the time of Alfred of Wessex, and is written with a similar ease, pacing, and sense of Anglo Saxons called to adventure.
