Order of Bernard Cornwell Books
Bernard Cornwell is an English author of historical fiction. He is best known for his Sharpe series featuring Richard Sharpe – a rifleman during the Napoleonic Wars, which has been adapted into a series of TV movies. Besides that, he has several other historical series, including The Starbuck Chronicles, The Warlord Chronicles, The Grail Quest, The Saxon Stories and more. He has also written a handful of modern mystery thrillers, including Wildtrack, Sea Lord (aka Killer’s Wake), Crackdown, Stormchild and Scoundrel.
Cornwell became a published author back in 1981 when he began his Sharpe series with Sharpe’s Eagle. Since that time, he has published at least one novel per year and quite frequently more than that.
