A compulsive reader I read the historical notes and promptly phoned my daughter (who will be the next reader of my copy) to tell her I had finished and then read her the last line” and so Uhtred and his story will continue” Oh! Yes please and as soon as you like. Wonderful story telling. Thank you Bernard Cornwell. Janis Pegrum
