Mr. Cornwell, The movie Master and Commander led me to Patrick O’Brian. After reading all of his books, I was looking for something new and found the Sharpe series. I thought it might be interesting to read what was going on with the British Army during the same time period. So now I have read all the Sharpe series(and am going tomorrow to buy Fury), and then I went on to your other books… the Grail quest books, Gallows Thief and half an hour ago I finished the Starbuck books. I really enjoy your writing and I am looking forward to reading the Arthur and Saxon books. I just wanted to say thank you. I really enjoy your writing and recommend you to my friends and co-workers. Thank you. Derek
