The Winter King - Bernard Cornwell - Episode 116

The Buddies enter Britain and the world of King Arthur in The Winter King by Bernard Cornwell. If you're sophisticated, you'll know this as an "Arthurian tale" or a retelling of the classic animated TV show King Arthur and the Knights of Justice. The book had the Buddies debating the merits of LSD-powered sorcery, comparing bar game courage to battlefield bravery, and wondering if maybe everyone in the Dark Ages just had terrible eyesight. So, grab your sword (named or unnamed), pour yourself some liquid courage, and join the Buddies as they battle through Book 1 of the Warlord Chronicles. Intro/Book Report (0:00-2:48)Stock Up/Down (2:49-32:14)Favorite Scene/Character (32:15-42:50)Love/Hate (42:51-52:12)Listener Email (52:13-55:01)Casting the Movie/Show (55:02-56:22)Conclusion (56:23-57:53) NEXT BOOK: All the Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker
