The Historical Novels Collection (mobi) torrent

Books : Fiction : English


This selection of Historical Novels has been collected from innumerable sources over a lengthy period. In making the selection, I thought for some time before opting to include such works as the Sharpe books of Bernard Cornwell, Ellis Peters' Cadfael series and the Michael Jecks Coroner novels. However, I was assured by someone with an encyclopaedic knowledge of the Napoleonic Wars that the Sharpe stories contain surprisingly accurate historical detail. As such authors as Ellis Peters, Lindsey Davis and Michael Jecks seem to be equally careful with their research, I saw no reason to exclude them or to deny them the same exposure as that offered to other authors using a historical template, just because they chose a criminal core for their stories.

I have, however, decided to avoid the avowed fantasy novels of David Gemmell and any suggestion of alternative realities.

I shall not try here to list all the books included; but the authors are:

Alex Haley
Alison Weir
Bernard Cornwell
Boris Pasternak
C J Sansom
Chris Bradford
Christian Cameron
Colleen McCullough
Conn Iggulden
Dorothy Dunnett
Eiji Yoshikawa
Elizabeth Chadwick
Ellis Peters
Erich Maria Remarque
Gary Jennings
Georgette Heyer
James Clavell
Jean M Auel
Jean Plaidy
Jeff Shaara
Ken Follett
Larry McMurtry
Laura Joh Rowland
Leon Uris
Lindsey Davis
Mary Renault
Mary Stewart
Maurice Druon
Michael Jecks
Michael Shaara
Philippa Gregory
Robert Graves
Robert Harris
Sharon K Penman
Simon Scarrow
Sir Walter Scott
Steven Pressfield
Steven Saylor
Tim Severin
Tom Holt
Valerio Massimo Manfredi
Wilbur Smith

All are MOBIs; but the collection does not contain all the historical novels by the listed authors and there is therefore plenty of scope for interested readers to search out further gems.


Enjoy and Seed!!
