Dear Mr. Cornwell, I had the good fortune of being in London on 1 October and at 0900, I was was banging on the door of Waterstones at Trafalgar Square, imploring the poor clerk to hurry up and unlock the door! Immediately after purchasing The Burning Land, I greedily devoured it in two days. Fantastic read! So, is it too soon to request the sequel? Please don’t torture me for another two years between novels! Your most devoted fan from Maryland without red, springy hair – Elizabeth
