Dear Mr. Cornwell Thanks for many amazing books. You’ve probably read that a billion times now but it needs to be said! First off I’ve noted with disappointment that it seems unlikely you will write anything else in the Arthurian trilogy-hope that might not be the case…? Also, force that as a film licence on someone, with a gun if necessary, it’s a crime that it hasn’t happened already and Hollywood’s supoosed recent ‘historic’ version was about as believable as Alien3. Another question is, I have recently noted a theme that is almost…critical of Christianity in your work. I’m aware this is a delicate subject so I understand if you refuse to answer it! However I’m a Theology & Religious Studies student so found it quite interesting-Derfel eventually renounces Christianity (and even if he didn’t I would still have been left feeling that he was much more at home with paganism) the Grail Quest sees generally unpleasant characters torturing their way to the grail, and finally I recently noted that Uhtred looks upon Christianity as a bit ‘sissy’ (best word I could think of). Indeed there are plenty of exceptions on both sides of the coin, it’s just thematically it seems more against than for to me. It’s just something I could write an essay on like people do with classical writers, I thought I might as well take advantage of the fact I can still ask you! Indeed this idea may have only come about thanks to my own opinions, sorry for the ramble and I apologise in advance if I inadvertently offend you or anyone who reads it should you/they happen to have a particularly strong faith. Also apologise if these are repeatedly asked questions… Thanks for your time answering our questions and writing great stuff, Jamie
