Summary
This is the first installment in a new series, in which the life story of a fictional vassal to Alfred the Great of Wessex serves as a vehicle to recount the history of the late ninth-century Anglo-Saxon king. The Danish Viking Ragnar kills the brother of Uhtred, the 10-year-old son of an Earl in the kingdom of Northumbria, and kidnaps Uhtred himself, raising him as a warrior. Years later, the nearly-grown Uhtred accompanies Ragnar as he leads an invading force to Wessex, the only one of the four English kingdoms as yet unconquered by Ragnar and his Danes. His experiences in Wessex lead Uhtred to question where his loyalties truly lie. Bernard Cornwell is the author of several popular sets of historical novels, including the Sharpe and King Arthur series.

Regeneration
by Pat Barker
In 1917 Siegfried Sassoon, Noted poet and decorated war hero, publicly refused to continue serving as a British officer in World War I. His reason: the war was a senseless slaughter. He was officially classified "mentally unsound" and sent to Craiglockhart War Hospital. There a brilliant psychiatrist, Dr. William Rivers, set about restoring Sassoon's "sanity" and sending him back to the trenches. This novel tells what happened as only a novel can. It is a war saga in which not a shot is fired. It is a story of a battle for a man's mind in which only the reader can decide who is the victor, who the vanquished, and who the victim. It is one of the most amazing feats of fiction of our time.
