dear Mr. Cornwell, I am writing to let you know how much I have enjoyed your books. Up until April of this year I had only read the Sharpe books and thought they were great. Then I bought the Grail series and was blown away, I could not put them down, they were excellent. After this I started on the Starbuck books followed by Rebel again both great reads. Starbuck was amazing I have yet to find any of your books lacking all are great and I enjoy how you describe the battles. I have just started the Warlord chronicles and cannot wait for the story to unfold as you say they are your favorites. I will continue to read your novels as I have become a massive fan keep up the good work thanks for the hours of enjoyment.John Paul.
