Order of Bernard Cornwell Books

Bernard Cornwell stands as one of England's premier writers of historical fiction. His most celebrated creation is the Sharpe series, chronicling the adventures of Richard Sharpe, a rifleman fighting through the Napoleonic Wars. This beloved series gained even wider recognition when it was brought to television as a collection of TV movies.

Beyond Sharpe, Cornwell has crafted numerous other historical series that have captivated readers worldwide, including The Starbuck Chronicles, The Warlord Chronicles, The Grail Quest, and The Saxon Stories, among others. While historical fiction remains his forte, he has also ventured into contemporary mystery thrillers with novels such as Wildtrack, Sea Lord (also published as Killer's Wake), Crackdown, Stormchild, and Scoundrel.

Cornwell launched his writing career in 1981 with the publication of Sharpe's Eagle, the inaugural novel in his flagship series. His remarkable productivity has been consistent ever since, with the author delivering at least one new novel annually, and often exceeding that output.
