A while back I was reading the Conn Iggulden books about Genghis Khan. Both Wolf of the Plains and Lords of the Bow were reviewed here last year. Based on those two books I've been recommending Jack Whyte's books, both The Skystone
and sequels and the Templar trilogy (which begins with Knights of the Black and White
).I have not yet read Conn Iggulden's Rome books about Julius Caesar though. Even so, I think that the two authors are a good match in terms of writing style. What I don't know however, is who else to recommend. A lot of the time people have already read both authors.
What would you recommend?

I haven't read either author (yet) so can't recommend from experience, but at work I (and others) tend to recommend Guy Gavriel Kay and Simon Scarrow for the historical fiction crowd. Possibly also Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett.
Most of the folks I get seem to have already read Pillars of the Earth, but thanks for the reminder that it's there to recommend. I've seen Simon Scarrow's books, but haven't looked into them at all. Will definitely have to check those out soon. Thanks for the recommendations, Anassa.
