The rebel novels were on offer the last time I looked!I've just finished reading The Truth About The Harry Quebert Affair by Joel Dicker, a brilliant whodunit that keeps you guessing to the end.
I'm also a huge fan of Bernard Cornwalls novels (although not the Sharpe ones)
I noticed on amazon that Bernard has a bicentennial novel coming out later this year called Waterloo, already put it in my kindle wish list!I've just finished reading The Truth About The Harry Quebert Affair by Joel Dicker, a brilliant whodunit that keeps you guessing to the end.

Always been fascinated with the battle, mostly because it is my late brothers birthday and it's significance, to the political and military history of Europe! For example, would we have had the first and second world wars and obviously the Franco-German conflicts later in the century?
Would have the radical French government that would have dominated Europe had the same effect as British and Germany on our lives?
What would have happened to the royal houses in Europe, with the revolutionary French dominance in Europe?
I'll ask Napoleon when I see him!!!!
Have you read his Agincourt, or was that another author? I get mixed up!My sausage fingers hit 'post reply' before is finished...
I won't bore you with more, I love the period around the 100 years war

I like historical what ifs, if you hadn't noticed already and one of my favourite authors is Harry Turtledove. He writes through the lives of his characters and he always kills at least one of his main characters off and introduces another in every book. He likes to tease you, knowing that you know that it is gonna happen, but not as you think, there are twists and unexpected turns, you think you have the story Sussex and after another chapter you haven't. It also has civilian characters and most of the story is about there struggles, rather than the military. My favourite series is based on if the South won the Civil War in America and the subsequent forty to fifty year after.Yes I have read Agincourt and yes it is one of his, it's a great read. I really like his style, fiction set during historical events.

Just thought have you read Redcoat?
Yeah thanks have read Bram Stokers Dracula and went To Whitby myself. Did you go in the Dracula museum? Went there about ten years ago. Is it still there?I'm always a bit worried about recommending books as people like different things, so don't blame me if you don't like it
But I absolutely loved the original Bram Stokers Dracula. I got it free on my kindle and really enjoyed it. In fact went to Whitby a few weekends ago just to see the place!
On a non kindle related book recommendation (sorry). I just read the 100 year old man who escaped from a window and disappeared...,, brilliant. Haven't seen how much it is on kindle.

He is a very prolific writer, google him or search on kindle and the start of the series that I mentioned is called 'the Guns Of The South' then if you follow it with 'Those Who Remain'. The series starts from there. Absolutely enthralling!I've not heard of Harry Turtledove sounds like my kind of author, going to have to check him out, is there any book I should start with?
No I haven't read Redcoat, is it any good?
