Dear Mr Cornwell, We just finished your last work, The Burning Land. Thank you, thank you for yet another wonderful Uhtred story! We are avid fans of all of his adventures and just delighted that this saga continues. In fact, we can not wait for your next book! (No pressure!) Meanwhile, we are seriously entertaining ourselves with your Nathaniel Starbuck Chronicles. Excellent! While we’re at it here, we also have to say that we thoroughly enjoyed and learned so much from your Grail Quest Series (as well as Excalibur, Stonehenge, The Fallen Angels, Redcoat and of course most of The Sharpe Novels!). How you do it is beyond us, but we sure are glad you are so incredibly intelligent and an enormously talented writer!! You are definitely our favorite historical author — so please keep ’em coming! Uhtred’s adventures and the profound significance of other such characters in history who have ultimately made this world of ours the way it is today, are often topics of discussion with our three bright history-loving sons; 2 are twenty-something and the third is 16 and especially relates to Uhtred as he aspires to attend military college next year. Just wanted to let you know how much your wonderful work has also rocked our world! Thanks so much again. Fellow Cape Cod Folk, John & Melissa Bird & family Harwich, MA
