I have your book on my bookcase " Waterloo" as a retired marine engineer and Falklands veteran, I had to place Roger Knhts  " The pursuit of Victory" above it, primarily because I revered Nelson and was born in Merton, however the chance meeting between Wellington and Nelson should have changed my loyalties. Great Sharpe Novels and characters. I thank you . My father was in the RAF ww2 also

Andy.

I am a huge fan...I'm not a huge person, but I've read the 13 books of The Last Kingdom series. Waited to see the BBC/Netflix series until I'd read them all. Some perspective: I read two Lee Childs books featuring Jack Reacher. Reacher the virtuous, imposing man, was described as 6'4". Tom Cruise as Reacher was a disappointment for me. Brings me to Uhtred as played in the series. The actor is 5'10". Not "a head" taller than even Brita. Actor playing Ubba is 6'3". I thoroughly enjoyed Uhtred of Bebbanburg through all 13 books. He is not at all imposing in the series. I have great respect for your talent. Damn  I wish  the BBC Uhtred was more like the books. I'm currently reading Fools and Mortals. I will try to watch the Last Kingdom TV series to completion.

Very respectfully,

Jerry Radford

Dear Mr. Cornwell,

 

I've consumed your stuff for decades, mostly Sharpe, 3-4x each, but have only recently gotten into The Last Kingdom series. I didn't think anything could top Sharpe, but Uthred has. Every novel has been a page turner, and the tactical detail compelling. Well done and thank you.

 

I also wanted to tell you, that as a conservative Presbyterian minister, I greatly appreciate your treatment of Christianity. You point out the hypocrisy that can so readily accompany it - especially when proximate to power - but are broad minded enough to include the sincere believer here and there (with their own blind spots of course).

 

For what it's worth, I have found your treatment to be both fair and accurate. Life is a mess, and religion, no less so, especially among the most pious. That by itself doesn't mean it's not true, but it's a mess nonetheless.

 

Appreciatively,

Chris Hutchinson

Wow ! My favourite author of historical fiction is also an amateur thespian - like me. And has played Prospero - like me. There's a speech about breaking his staff to relinquish his power. Don't break your pen Bernard - please. And stay as well as you can.

My best wishes.

Mr Cornwell,

I am 67 years old, and never really read a complete, other than the Bible and a few kids books when I was young. One day a friend of my wife, who is an avid reader, sent me a box of books, all of which were historical war novels, except one which was a historical fiction about the American civil war written by Jeff Shaara. I was hooked, and read every book written my Jeff Shaara and his late father Michael.

I quickly determined that I was a huge fan of military historical fiction, especially book series. I read many books since that first civil war book, but after I came across your series of The Last Kingdom, I found my favorite writer. This series was the most exciting books I have ever read up to that point. I couldn’t believe how a writer could make me feel like was right there in the middle of the action. I could vividly visualize everything I read. However, I then started reading your Sharpe series and without a doubt this was the best series of books I have ever read. You are a masterful storyteller. It’s hard to put down anything you’ve written. I just finished your latest book, Sharpe’s Storm, and it saddened me to see that this might be the last book you write in this series. I certainly hope this isn’t the case and you are able to bring us to the end of Sharpe’s story as it pertains to the fight with the French, and the beginning of Sharpe’s new life after the war, but I certainly understand if this isn’t something you want, or able to do. Anyway, I would like to thank you for all your work you shared with us over the years. You actually were the reason I have found the enjoyment of reading, and I have learned a lot about the early British wars which I find fascinating.

Thank you again for the wonderful works you have shared, and I truly hope that we will see another book from you.

Dear Mr. Cornwell

 

I am so happy that you do not find a normal job in USA and start to  be an historic-autor.

I read and hear (audible) everything You published until today. Not every time but most in english (I am german, so sorry for my english). Love everything.

 

But Starbuck is unfinished and You know it :)) Let the Blood-Stained Banner fly again till the end, or better the new beginning after gettysburg for Starbuck, Swinyard and Truslow.

 

I compare every historic roman with your books. But You are my most favorit autor.

 

Greetings to Uthred, Sharpe, Arthur, Starbuck, 1356, and on and on...:)

 

Best wishes for your health and wyrd bið ful aræd!

 

Best regarts

Good Day Sir;

I have just finished reading War Lord, and wanted to say Thank You for providing such a riveting series. As well as reading l have watched the series on Netflix, and was very impressed with the detail, both in your written descriptions, and sequences, and the series costuming, fighting sequences, and general cinematic photography

From the north shore of Lake Huron, Ontario, Canada, you have entertained me through a long winter, with a good story, a view out over the frozen lake, and a fire to keep me warm

Again, Thank you

Best

Tom Shreeve

Dear Sir,

I've read all of your works and love them. I'm currently reading, Sharpe's Storm.  I hope you'll continue writing stories about, Sharpe, from anytime and place.  I think I'm enjoying this book more than any other, so far.  Your novellas are also awesome so please write more of those as well. Wishing you good health and joy,

Dave.

 

Good Afternoon Sir,

I can’t explain to you how much your books have meant to me. From Sir Hookton, to Uhtred, to Starbuck, and your telling of Agincourt. I appreciate your art. As a member of the armed forces your books have a special place in life. Thank you for all you do.

Very Respectfully,

CLR
