The thing I love most about Bernard Cornwell is his historical accuracy. Also, when there's a really exciting exploit in the story that actually happened, he takes the time and trouble to explain it in the epilogue, giving credit to the person who actually did it. Take note, Hollywood.

At the moment I'm reading In Search Of Schroedinger's Cat, which is like an introduction to quantum theory for idiots.
