Hello Bernard, just to say that I’m currently reading ‘The Last Kingdom’ and it’s so good that I’m almost finished!! I’m trying to ration myself now because I know that I’ll have to wait for the next installment. Doh it’s not fair! Any news on when the next book will be published?? By the way it was a friend of mine at work that got me hooked on your books with ‘The Warlord Trilogy’, Derfel is so cool as is Uhtred!! I especially like the relationship that Uhtred has with the Danes and what he thinks of Alfred, very funny!! As to my own book that I said I was writing, well due to my computer throwing a strop a few months back, I’ve got to start again. Anyway Well Done Sir on such an excellent book!! All the best!!
