I have read nearly everything written by Bernard Cornwell (I think it's just a few of his stand alone thrillers that I haven't read) and in some cases, such as the Sharpe series and The Warlord Chronicles, I've read them several times. He's been one of my favourite authors since I was 13 and I would heartily recommend his books to anyone who likes history or historical fiction.

The Winter King and Enemy of God were awesome, I'm going to start Excalibur tonight.

I think those three are my favourite books he's written, The Winter King in particular. If you like those I'd give [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Saxon_Stories]The Saxon Stories[/url] a read as well as the main protagonist is very similar to Derfel Cadarn. To be honest his protagonists are usually just a re-working of Sharpe but it doesn't stop his books being enjoyable.

My dad said those ones are great, I'l ltry and get them. What's Stonehenge like?

It's probably one of his weaker works (I've only read it once though) and, if I remember rightly, it's one of the few books where he's departed from having his usual strong male main character. Basically, not enough kicking ass and taking names :)
