''Corsair'' is recommended for fans of historical adventure more interested in the technical aspects of life than in characterisation and particularly for those with an interest in exploration, the slave trade, the war between cross and crescent and naval history generally.
My thanks to the kind people at Macmillan for sending the book. We also have a review of [[Saxon: The Book of Dreams (Saxon 1) by Tim Severin]].
Those who enjoy a military aspect in their historical fiction might like Sam Barone's [[Dawn of Empire]] which talks about the building of the first walled city.
