Hi thank you for taking the time to read this message. I’m 4/5 the way through the Pale Horseman and it’s an amazing book and story thank you for the time and effort you must have put into this and all your books. When I first begin reading the Last Kingdom I thought how much like Derfel Uhtred is but now he has reached manhood and I can see just how completely different they are too one another. When writing the Pale Horseman and the Last Kingdom were you worried that the two might merge into one character or did you always see them as two completely separate characters who were so unique from one another that it did not matter? Also out of all your characters which one do you think is the most dangerous and who is your personal favourite? I can’t wait for the next Sharpe book any ideas when it will be set? thanks again, Christopher Horgan 17 England

JUST finished reading ‘The Pale Horseman’. As with everything else I have read by Mr. Cornwell (I THINK I have ready every book published, but MAY have missed a Sharpe book or two (sadly!)) this latest book was brilliant. Cannot wait for the next installment. Are any new Sharpe, or other subjects imminent? Please keep them coming!!!!!!! Trully, the only author whose books I will pre-order, and cannot put down once I have started. Thank you for many many hours of great entertainment. Tony McCluskey
