Summary
Agincourt is classic Cornwell...[with] attention to historical detail, well-paced action, and descriptive writing that is a pleasure to read." (Boston Globe)
Bernard Cornwell, the New York Times best-selling "reigning king of historical fiction" (USA Today), tackles his most thrilling, rich, and enthralling subject yet - the heroic tale of Agincourt. The epic battle immortalized by William Shakespeare in his classic Henry V is the background for this breathtaking tale of heroism, love, devotion, and duty from the legendary author of the Richard Sharpe novels and the Saxon Tales. This extraordinary adventure will captivate from minute one, proving once again and most powerfully, as author Lee Child attests, that "nobody in the world does this stuff better than Cornwell."
Critic reviews
"Nobody in the world does this stuff better than Cornwell. (Lee Child, author of Nothing to Lose)
"Readers who haven't discovered Bernard Cornwell don't know what they are missing....He may well be the best historical novelist writing today -- and Agincourt may well be his best novel yet. (Vince Flynn, author of Extreme Measures)

A perfectly readable historic tale.
This is another perfectly acceptable novel by Cornwell.
It's not going to set the literary world ablaze, but for a bit of light bedtime reading, it's great.
(The only really annoying aspect of this edition is the music. It's awful! This is a book, not a radio programme. No music is needed - and certainly not tinny, synthesised music.)

A Brilliant Story
I enjoyed the book immensely and the story teller really engaged me with his talent.
I would recommend this book to people who enjoy historical novels. Well worth a read.

Great story
Enjoyable military adventure story
Bernard Cornwell certainly knows his market demographics; me.
These book are great fun; like films but the pictures are better
Small downside is the Americanisms in the English accent narration; it is "missile" not "mizzel" etc. etc.

Very enjoyable listen
I'd agree with the other reviews that are questioning why the music is in there. its not very good and doesn't really fit with the story. just sort of comes out of nowhere.
Other than that its an excellent listen with a very good narrator

very good overall.
wonderful story, but unfortunately the narrator wasn't very distinctive between voices. I felt that perhaps a french accent would have been good for the french characters.

Quite brilliant
Bernard Cornwell has delivered a masterpiece of historical storytelling and it had to be 6,000 facing 30,000... they were facing Englishmen after all!

Great story- 2 issues
The narrator can literally only do 2 voices. EVERYONE sounds the same!
The music isn’t needed.

another great story bringing history to life
enjoyed it as usual bit I'm a fan. Cornwall really knows how to make personal stories come alive. the music as the start of chapters and I varied between hating and loving it at times. it didn't impact ony enjoyment at all!
