Dear Mr. Cornwell; First, please allow me to express my thanks for the tremendous enjoyment your books have given me since I first discovered them a few years ago. I have most enjoyed the Saxon stories and, of course, the Richard Sharpe books, and the historical backgrounds you provide are as vivid and enlightening as they are engaging. Respecting your request that readers not submit their story ideas to you, I shall withhold my thoughts on a possible new storyline. Instead, I will ask if you are familiar with the history surrounding Sir Isaac Brock, of Gurnsey. He desperately wanted to fight Napoleon instead of defending British North America against the United States, and his alliance with legendary Shawnee Chief Tecumseh makes a fascinating tale. The history of European empires, empire-building, and the conflicts they spawned, are a window onto the soul of mankind – capturing the heights of human achievement, as well as the depths of human depravity. Your historical novels bring all of that to life, Mr. Cornwell, and I trust you will continue to share your stories with us for many years to come. Thank you again. Sincerely, //signed// Bryan D.
