Greetings Mr. Cornwell,
Firsthand, congratulations on your books, and recently the movie; Seven Kings Must Die. I just completed binge watching the series; The Last Kingdom. I will be collecting your books. My son (studying Biomedical Engineering at Texas A&M), is an avid reader, it is what we both most have in common. His passion is philosophy, science and mathematics. I mention this because I consider myself a Christian, raised to trust in God. I realize that religion is ultimately the choice to the individual, and we should respect that. In viewing The Last Kingdom, really touched my heart, even though it seemed Christians fought against paganism, the loss of life, and the pain to lose those we love is the same. I am not catholic, but I respect those who are. My question to you, what is your view on USA, a country with the freedom to choose religion or atheism, do you see this as a blessing or a curse? If united we stand, divided we fall, religion vs political views would affect future generations.
Thank you.

My view on the USA? That it is, as Lincoln said, ‘the last best hope of mankind’. But at the same time I’m incredibly frustrated by the politics of evangelical Protestantism which enthusiastically supported Trump and wishes to impose its joyless moral strictures on the rest of us. I should probably say no more, so won’t.
