Product Description:
Bestselling author Bernard Cornwell takes us back four thousand years, to a vibrant world of ritual and sacrifice that is at once timeless and wholly original. This historical novel unlocks the mystery of Britain's most haunting and puzzling structure, and tells a tale of three brothers—fierce rivals—who are uneasily united in their quest to create a temple to their gods. Lengar, the eldest brother, kills his own father to become chief of his tribe. Camaban, the illegitimate middle brother, is determined to have a massive temple built in his own honor. And Saban, the youngest, who actually builds Stonehenge, must act as mediator between the other two. Stonehenge is the enthrallingly dramatic story of patricide, betrayal, and murder; of bloody brotherly rivalry; and of the never-ending quest for power, wealth, and spiritual fulfillment.

Bernard Cornwall's task in creating this novel was to weave a plausible story line which explains how the monument at Stonehenge was created.

I would seriously like to see this novel made into a movie ... Read More

I hate when a book gets so boring, stagnent and full of dead ends that I have to give up. This was one of those. I'm surprised that this author is so popular--was this just a bad egg or are the rest of his books like this? (As a guide: I've loved every Wilbur Smith and Ken Follett novel I've ever read.)

This was not the best book Cornwell has written. It was still worth the read, but he usually does much better.

Bernard Cornwell's Stonehenge: A Novel of 2000 BC is an amazing book which captured my interests more than half a decade ago. I had borrowed the book from the local library, one of those Books on Wheels kind of things. That weekend I'd gone camping with my grandmother, the same campground I'd spent a lot of my youth at. I devoured the text with a ferocity that only a youth can recreate, and ever since- I've loved it. The enmity between Lengar and Saban that is present from the start, the love between ... Read More
