Publisher Description

Four thousand years ago, a stranger's ominous gift and his death at the Old Temple of Ratharryn would precipitate the building of one of mankind's most remarkable achievements. Cornwell's epic novel, Stonehenge, catapults us into a powerful world of ritual, betrayal, and the never-ending pursuit of power, wealth, and spiritual fulfillment.

Three brothers, deadly rivals, are precariously united by a shared vision to create a temple to their gods. Lengar, the eldest, is a ruthless warrior intent on replacing his father as chief of the tribe. Camaban, his bastard brother, is a sorcerer whose religious fervor inspires the plan for Stonehenge. Caught between the zealousness of his ambitious brothers, it is the youngest, the peaceful Saban, who will become the true leader of his people and live to see the temple built in the name of salvation and regeneration.

    " Interesting time period, but I didn't like this book as much as the rest of Bernard Cornwell's I have read. "

    " It was a very good story. The characters were real. We do not know who built Stonehenge, but the author created a very good story of a group of people who might have built it. The author went into detail on how it was probably built which was a very interesting part of the book. There was war and violence in the book as well as romance. There was something for everyone in this book and it is well worth reading. "

    " I'm a huge fan of Cornwell's novels. This one was enjoyable, but perhaps a bit slower to get started into than most of his novels? I stopped reading it for a few weeks...typically I find his novels to page turners that I can't put down. "

    " A good read with some excellent speculation on methods and incentives of the proposed builders. Not for the faint of heart or squeamish! "

    " Basic test [yes/no:]: Would I recommend you read this book or not. Was it worth the few hours spent reading it? Am I pleased that I spent the time reading it? --- Yes --- "

    " I know this book is really silly, but it is well researched and actually quite clever. Mostly it's a fabulously imaginative tale that really wrapped me in with its melodramatic narrative. "

    " I have to put this away for awhile. A little too gripping for me at this time - not quite as escapist as I'd hoped. I'll try again later. The descriptions are amazing, though. "

    " I was really into it when I was forced to quit. Cornwell narrative was so strong that I really let myself feel the character's pain. I hope to go back and finish someday, when I'm certain I won't have another panic attack. "

    " My least favourite of all the Cornwell books I have read (I have read all of the Sharpe books). The entire book for me consisted of moving large stones around, with little else of interest. "

    " Not a great novel, with clumsy writing, forgettable characters, and scenes talen right out of 'Braveheart.' Can not recommend it. "

    " Maybe I am just not in the mood for this type of book but it went into pagan rituals, etc in alittle more detail than I want to deal with right now. I may get back to it, I may not. Only the future can tell. "
