Dear Mr Cornwell, I am totally enthralled by the tales of Uhtred as this is my favourite period in history before the Normans invaded. Mainly because it is hard to find information on this period, apart from the writings of bede and the Saxon chronicles, and for this reason it stirs the imagination more than any other period for me. So you see, you cannot end Uhtred’s tale with Lord’s of the North. He simply must go on. Soon please. Malc.
