Greetings Mr. Cornwell.

I hope you had a great new year, and hope it will be a good year for you! I wanted to ask you in regards to Saxon Chronicles, I’ve got the word that the 11th book is indeed coming, but I am wondering if it will be the last. Hopefully not, as according to my calculations, Uhtred is 60 and, since he was born in 857 AD, the 10th book was set in 917 AD. Until the Battle of Brunanburh, there are 20 more years ahead, so still some long time to consolidate and answer a few more questions, such as the power gap of Æthelflaed after she dies, the deaths of long Edward and his son Ælfweard in 924 AD and the succession crisis which Æthelstan will have to endure, the consolidation of England in 927 AD and finally the Battle of Brunanburh itself, in 937 AD. I believe there is enough material for at least four more books. Do you plan on doing something like this in order to finish the saga?

 

Much appreciated for your attention,

Patrick
