The story is seen through the eyes of Uhtred, a dispossessed nobleman, who is captured as a child by the Danes and then raised by them so that, by the time the Northmen begin their assault on Wessex, Alfred's kingdom and the last territory in English hands, Uhtred almost thinks of himself as a Dane. He certainly has no love for Alfred, whom he considers a pious weakling and no match for Viking savagery, yet when Alfred unexpectedly defeats the Danes and the Danes themselves turn on Uhtred, he has to decide which side he is on. By now he is a young man, in love, trained to fight and ready to take his place in the dreaded shield wall. Above all, though, he wishes to recover his father's land, the magical fort of Bebbanburg by the wild northern sea. This thrilling adventure - based on existing records of Bernard Cornwell's ancestors, depicts a time when law and order were ripped violently apart by a pagan assault on Christian England, an assault that came very close to destroying England altogether. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 00 Alfred,|cKing of England,|d849-899|vFiction. 650 0 Vikings|vFiction. 651 0 Great Britain|xHistory|yAlfred, 871-899|vFiction. 700 1 Keeble, Jonathan,|enarrator. 710 2 hoopla digital. 800 1 Bernard, Cornwell.|tLast Kingdom.|sSpoken word ;|vbk. 1 914 MWT11632208
