Dear Mr. Cornwell, Thank you for all the hours and days of enjoyment from your books. I first started with your Sharpe books, then the Saxon stories, and just now finishing on the Grail Quest. I love all of the characters, but I confess my favorite of favorites is Uhtred. I hope you will not take this badly, but I notice you seem to be very “economical” with maps — that is with very few exceptions, your books are nearly devoid of maps, especially battle or tactical maps. As a military history buff, even I have had to dust off a copy or two of books with maps from my shelf to just keep up with the plot, and although you are very good in your descriptions, why not add an extra maps here and there to help your reads more easily grasp the tactical situation. For example, in the Grail Quest – why not a map of Crecy or La Roche-Derriere? In the Last Kingdom, there are several places where I think it would have been helpful to your readers. Just a thought for the future. Again, thank you for incredible stories. – John
