I used to be a sporadic reader & plod through books but when I chanced upon Azincourt my life changed. I read that book in 2 days & thought it magnificent. The way you write characters is amazing, i hope, fear & cheer them along & sometimes wish to be them. I have since read the Arthur stories, the Grail series & my favorite Uhtred. The way you write just immerses me into the time & story. Thirsting for more of your writing I thought I would try Sharpe which has been further enhanced after reading Simon Scarrow’s Generals series. I think Sharpe is my new hero after reading the first four books in 5 days. How on earth you created such a man is a wonder. Have had to stop reading before bedtime though as I’ve started deploying against cavalry in my sleep. While I wait for more Uhtred or Thomas, I’ve read the Scarrow Roman series which again character driven is great. I would just like to finish with my sincere thanks for the enjoyment you have given me with your gift & please bring back Uhtred. Jamie Dainton
