Hello Bernard,I have just finished reading The Burning Land,and I am glad to say that it is up to your usual high standard.I noticed the several clues in your opening chapter as to Uhtred’s future when he invites the old monk to visit him at Bebbanburg to hear the truth,so we know that he will get there eventually.I thought your description of the battles at Fearnhamme and Beamfleot were brilliant,in fact I went back and read them several times over.As always a brilliant read,I am looking forward to the next Uhtred adventure already,please don’t be too long.Many Regards Peter Carragher(Suffolk)
