Dear Mr. Cornwell, Thank you for writing great books for readers who thrill to the clash of armor, the roar of battle, and the spiritual fight for mens souls. I have been a fan for some time. At the moment I am reading Agincourt, the final battle is soon to be fought and although I have not finished the book it is one of your best. I read several Sharps which reminded me of two of my favorite authors, C.S. Forester and Alexander Kent. However it was the Arthur trilogy that I found truly exceptional. Can we get this in a single volume someday? Illustrated, leather bound and gold leaf would do nicely!

I am also a big fan of the Saxon stories (as is my son, Matthew). The Vikings are truly an under-appreciated people. Merchants, traders, explorers the Viking did so much, but their history was written by others who viewed them as heathen pirate warriors. Their most significant contribution may have been their willingness to adapt and merge into other cultures. I live close by in Wareham, MA. So I too am suffering through this poor weather weve been having. On a positive note all this rain may find you at your computer writing stories for us less talented folks. Aside from this note of thanks, I wonder if you might recommend any authors/books of similar ilk as yours. Kind Regards, Andrew Topoulos
