Hello Bernard,

As someone who has read all your books except Stonehedge and the nautical thrillers, I want to thank you for all these hours of joy you have given me. Please please please take a small break from Uhtred (who is amazing) to complete the Starbuck Chronicles. It’s been 20 years now and I think he deserves a proper ending with another book (or better let’s make them two!!)

I also have a question for you: Have you thought or researched about a book/series taking place during the campaigns of Marlborough (Ramilies,Blenheim. Malplaquet,Oudenarde) or during the French and Indian Wars? I think that these are rather neglected periods and you could work miracles with them (oh come on you are not that old to start a new series!!) Thank again for all the hours your books kept me company

Nick
