The Pale Horseman by Bernard Cornwell is the second in the Saxon Stories and picks up after the last kingdom. I couldn't wait to hear more about Uhtred.

Review:
The story of Uhtred continues in this gripping saga of England under Danish control. Uhtred becomes more human and parts of his character are fleshed out in this book. To show that Uhtred is not a one shot wonder, he goes on to take a prominent role in helping Alfred restore the kingdom of Wessex from under Danish control and lays the foundation for the concept that Uhtred could actually be a leader himself one day. The battles continue and this story will not disappoint anyone looking for action scenes. While it seems that time spent in a swamp simply can't have much action beyond a lost boot, Bernard Cornwell handles it well.
