Praise for Warrior:
'Enthralling... riveting, brilliantly written' Editor's choice, Bookseller
'Imaginatively constructed within a story of love and hate, war and peace, Christianity and paganism, scientific insights and intuitive guesswork, the authors paint a vivid picture of the wider world surrounding northern England some thirteen hundred years ago' Professor Ian Ralston
'It is said that the dead cannot speak: Albert and Gething prove that wrong in this masterly tale of investigation, heroism and discovery that follows from the discovery of the bones of one man near the coast of Northumbria' Justin Hill
'So stirringly told, and the past so vividly evoked' that the reader is left believing it must be true' Mail on Sunday
'Intriguing... Warrior is an engrossing tale of Anglo-Saxon Britain that will appeal to those interested in the period or archaeology in general' --All About History
Warrior tells the story of forgotten man, a man whose bones were found in an Anglo-Saxon graveyard at Bamburgh castle in Northumberland. It is the story of a violent time when Britain was defining itself in waves of religious fervour, scattered tribal expansion and terrible bloodshed; it is the story of the fighting class, men apart, defined in life and death by their experiences on the killing field; it is an intricate and riveting narrative of survival and adaptation set in the stunning political and physical landscapes of medieval England. Warrior is a classic of British history, a landmark of popular archaeology, and a must-read for anyone interested in the story of where we've come from.
