Bernard Cornwell, Starbuck Chronicles

Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe series is well written and interesting. The characters, settings, and plots are well done. I'm currently listening to the Starbuck Chronicles. There are only four because the Sharpe series started being televised and he concentrated more on it...that's what he says, but honestly I think writing about a Civil War character just had to be too depressing to continue. He does a good job. There are good and bad people on both sides and people of conviction on both sides, but it is seriously depressing.
