Bernard Cornwell?

Update:


Well I recently finished Sword Song: The Battle for London, the fourth book in Cornwell's Saxon Tales (it was just published last year), and am definitely enjoying his writing so far. While I didn't like the character of Uhtred that much initially, I've warmed up to him since then. At this point my main frustration is that the series is obviously still far from over; I hate waiting!


Now I've gotta see if I can find the Warlord series....
