Dear Mr Cornwell, I just wanted to thank you for all the enjoyment reading your books have given me. So far I have read the Warlord, Saxon and Grail series’ and have just finished Azincourt. I will next be reading the Starbuck chronicles (especially as I have recently finished Jeff Shaara’s ‘Gods & Generals’ which got me interested in this period). You truly have a masterful gift for storytelling and bringing your characters so much to life that the reader can feel what they are going through, share their joy and pain and fret over their future and that of their loved ones. Uhtred has to be my favourite character and eagerly look forward to more of his adventures. Anyway, thanks again and please keep on doing what you do so magnificently ! (Oh and might we be hearing more from Nick Hook in the future ? ) Warmest regards Andy Green
