I have enjoyed reading several of your series. I started with Sharpe and recalled the TV versions. I have read 2 of the sailing titles, Patagonia was very interesting almost a virgin land. I read the grail books as quickly as I could. I just finished the 1st Uthred title and look forward to the others. I teach middle school social studies so many of your books find their way into my lectures. Hopefully I can stimulate my students with history and reading. Last summer I undertook reading the Hornblower books in historical order and enjoyed reading the Sharpe book of the same period but offering the army point of view. I have also read all the WEB Griffin books, in order. I was a history major, served in the army in Europe and Korea, grew-up at the Chesapeake Bay so like sailing. Howard Coe

Mr. Cornwell, I just wanted to write a quick note to tell you how much I love your books. My father is a huge fan of yours and has most if not all of your books. He started me out reading the Starbuck Chronicles. I borrow 5 or so at a time and read them in a few weeks and have yet to find a book that I didn't love(I'm not a cheapskate, but I am a young guy with 2 kids and not a lot of money so I let my dad buy them for me!). You're my favorite author and I hope you continue to write for years to come. My favorite series so far is the Saxon Series. Thanks Nick Spaulding, Edinboro, PA

Sharpe's Sword. Sir, The social humor you injected into Sharpe's Sword was side-splitting. I had to pull my car over I was laughing so hard when Richard Sharpe was speaking to Lord Spears with Lord Spears trying to pin Sharpe down on where he had been. A one legged cobblers daughter! You must have been laughing as you wrote it. I am still laughing. I love your books and this was a very rich addition indead. Please keep up the great work. Respectfully, Tom Topping

Dear Mr. Cornwell I'm an avid reader and have read hundreds of novels even though I am only a senior in high school. I have to say though that your novels, especially the warlord trilogy were my favorite. I've read the first two books of the Last Kingdom series and I can wait for the Lords of the North. Your books have been kind of an inspiration to me, now I find I can't learn enough about the arthurian tales, about the british isle's history, and scandinavias history. Back to the warlord trilogy though, I read the whole series in a week and I was so sad when it ended. Currently I"m on my fifth time of reading the series and I wish there was more to the story but the legend must end somewhere. I hope you continue to write books about the pre-renaissance era because those are what I am most interested in,not to sound selfish. I just want to thank you for creating such great works of art and helping me realize what I now what I love the most, history.:-) Steven

Dear Sir, Having just read "The Last Kingdom" I just had to write and tell you how much I enjoyed this novel. I am an avid reader of historical novels and note with satisfaction that your novels actually make the reader feel as if they are actually there. Thank you for a great read.

Dear Mr. Cornwell, Like so many others, I wanted to write and tell you how much I enjoy your writing. I have read the Grail Quest series and am halfway through the Starbuck Chronicles and have become thouroughly immersed both. Also greatly enjoyed The Last Kingdom. You are truly a master at mixing historical fact with engrossing, believeable, fiction. I envy you the hours and hours you must spend doing the research. Your chosen periods are fascinating. Someday, when I have far more time to spare I will tackle the Sharpe series, but I know once I start, I will have to tear through them all. Many thanks for your wonderful books. -John

Just wanted to say many thanks for providing me with such a vast volume of excellent stories - if I were to have a Top 5 authors list you'd be at the top along with Tolkien, Graham Shelby, George Shipway and Martin Middlebrook. Having read (and re-read) the Arthur books, the Grail Quest and the first two books of the Saxon Stories, I have now finally begun the first of the Sharpe books. I feel like a miner who has just cracked open another rich seam of gold! Great stuff - you're a gifted man. Rob Perkins

I know you have heard this a million times. I just started reading Sharpe's adventures recently and I can't get enough of them. You are going to make me broke as I have to go out and order all of them. Looking forward to reading your other books and anything new for Sharpe. Damn you are good. Thanks. Alan Frandsen

Dear Mr.Cornwell. Thank you very much for your books. I just want you to know that you have fans even in Yemen. Some time ago I was lucky to buy your 2 books in foreign airport: Sea Lord and Crackdown. I never was sorry for spent money, never. Your books are great! Really thrilling and exciting. We don't have here in Yemen many English books, but I hope some day I'll read all of your books. Thanks again. Leila Khaled

I have just read that there is a new Sharpe novel coming out in October - thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!! Jeanne MacDonald
