Thanks for "Sharpe's Fury" And all the rest of them also. Thomas H. Egan

Hi there, I first met Uhtred in The Pale Horseman. I discovered him while browsing in a bookshop looking for something to read on my train journey from London to Newcastle. Two days later I'd finished the book finding myself unable to put it down. I'm a Geordie born & bred & my parents now live in Northumberland just outside of Alnmouth. I know when I next go home I'll not really look at the area with the same eyes, as i'll be thinking about the past history & events of the area. I've since read the Last Kingdom & am now storming my way through The Lords of the North, again finding it very difficult to put down. Thanks for some great entertainment (I find myself laughing aloud quite often!) & I really look forward to the next chapter. Many thanks, David McRoberts

Hello Mr. Cornwell, It's been a year since Ive had the time to sit down and read something not related to archaeology or politics, and once again I have been overwhelmed by your imagination! However, I would like to take this time to say I have been remiss and not thanked you yet. I would like to personally thank you for signing my all time favourite novel, 'Enemy of God', with which my girlfriend surprised me with on my 21st birthday. It turned what is usually the grumpiest day of the year for me, into something alike a festival! And though I have thanked her for such a personal gift (She's followed me around the bookshop for hours patiently listening to me compare everything to your stories), Id like to now quickly say.. Vielen Dank! Alles beste, und auf wiedersehen! Kai Maraun

I would bet you get hundreds of these e-mails a week, but I just wanted to say that I have enjoyes your Sharpe series, I am just finish Sharpes fury, I always beleived no one could compete with Wilbur Smith or WEB Griffen on historical ficton. I finished the series in lest then 4 months and have loved every minute of them. Thanks for the great novels, I can't wait to read you last book of the saxon stories. Then I don't know which series to go to. Thanks Thad Lawrence

Thankyou for sharpe's Fury, another marvellous read, and good to see Sharpe back.I Look forward to the next book you release,whatever the subject. Jonathan Pearson

I am at present buying the complete series of your books on Sharpe (in chronological order). As an ex-serviceman I find them extraodinary in detail and that who ever reads them should find themselves in the midst of all the realism of that era. I have seen the TV series and my wife said I should have read the books first to draw my own vision of Sharpe, I don't agree and find that having seen the TV and now reading your books, that are explicitly put together, I can relate to Sharpe and his 'chosen men'. Thank you for your work and the continuous enjoyment you bring through your work. Chris Redford

No requests, only accolades. History is my element and literature an insatiable pleasure. Along with Patrick O'Brian and TH White, you breathe life into heroic times and characters with mettle. Your books transport and restore. Stay the fertile and prodigious course. Each new work is like Christmas morning. Thank you. Blanche Horst

Please do not feel a need to reply to this. I just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed your Saxon books. I am slightly disappointed by the art work that will appear on the US version of the Lords of The North, the UK version is so much cooler! Steve Gibbs

Bernard, I just finished "Fury." I have to tell you, this latest book has become one of my favorites, along with "Waterloo," "Eagle," "Trafalgar," and "Tiger." You've introduced some great new characters and Lord Pumphrey is a wonderful foil. Thank you again for providing such glorious and entertaining reading.

Dear Bernard I have just spent two relaxing weeks in the Vendee in France on holiday and read both The Last Kingdom and The Pale Horseman. I could not put them down - my son who is 11 and really into Sharpe and all things historical also picked up The Last Kingdom and loved it. They are brilliant - can't wait to read Lords of the North. Thanks again Patrick Neal Mirfield, West Yorkshire
