Hello Mr. Cornwell, I have just finished reading the Saxon books and have thoroughly enjoyed them. Each book was a real page turner. I love the character Uhtred and cannot wait until the next book comes out. I also have to tell you that the scene in The Pale Horseman where Aethlwold crawls up to the altar with Uhtred and make an utter fool of himself for Uhtred had me in stitches with tears running down my face. My husband thought I was a lunatic. The best laugh I have ever had from a book. Thank you for a wonderful read and now I am off to enjoy the The Grail Quest Series. Sincerely, Stephanie Manuel
