Dear Mr Cornwell

I’ve just finished Fallen Angels: quite different from your usual style, but very enjoyable. The world of Lazen was an ideal setting: very self contained, but still part of the rest of the eighteenth century, almost with faint echoes of Gormenghast. I understand it’s just a coincidence, but I particularly appreciated the cameo appearance of Captain Nathaniel Skeat. Can I have your permission to think of him as a distant descendant of Will Skeat, continuing his fight against the old enemy? Looking forward to the next installment of Uhtred in the autumn!

Best Wishes
