About this listen
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."
©2009 Bernard Cornwell (P)2009 HarperCollins PublishersCritic 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)

That music tho...
The music at the start of the chapters was really unnecessary. I feared initially it would go for the whole book, but was relieved it tapered off after a minutes or so.
Still, a great story that kept me engaged - although I felt the narrator added some years to all of the characters.

Phenomenal, please get rid of the music!!!
I see what they were ‘trying’ to do with the music, but in the case it just doesn’t work.
Amazing book.

Amazing story.
I absolutely loved this audio book, it was an amazing story with such vivid battle scenes and characters I couldn't stop listening.
The only downfall is the music between chapters which is quite loud and obnoxious.
I will definitely be buying this book to add to my collection and I look forward to reading and listening to more of Bernard cornwells books In the future.
I highly recommend this audio book!

Great Story
Historicaly accurate, flowing story line, all up quite a good listen. Only thing I found annoying was the narrator somehow managed to make everyone sound like an octogenarian! Even supposed teenagers sound well into their 70's.

wrong narrator
it might be a good story but absolutely the wrong narrator! the guy sounds like an old man sitting in his rocking chair telling the story to his great grand kids. i couldn't get past the second chapter.

Really bloody good!
Agincourt is a historical fiction account of the battle of Agincourt in 1415. The storytelling is vivid and utterly brutal. I winced and it turned my stomach on more than a few occasions. It graphically depicts bone crunching, brain squelching violence. I loved it and maybe you will too.

Another great story by Cornwell
Another fantastic book by Bernard Cornwell, who is quickly becoming my favourite author.
Great story, interesting characters who feel very different in personality, a very interesting setting with the battle of Agincourt being a particularly fascinating from historical standpoint.
The only criticisms I have are with the narrator, who did do a great job but simply felt mismatched for this book, and the Final Fantasy 6 sounding music between parts. But these are no major critiques, just something I felt.
Well worth the listen.
