Dear Mr. Cornwell, Having just read some of the more recent comments I wanted to extend my sympathy. When people start accusing you of political correctness and others stop reading your books because one of your characters uses the Lords’ name in vain!!?? Well I just have to shake my head. Some people can never be happy. Back to the real world, I think your latest foray into Uthred’s world is outstanding! These period works like Warlord, Grail, and Uthred let your ability really shine. I too feel you have outgrown Sharpe(as much as I loved that series), and think you should continue to concentrate on these other more “substantial” type of stories. When I met you in Hamilton Ontario, I suggested Roman Britain and pre Roman Britain(Trinovantes, Eceni, Catuvellauni etc..) as very fertile ground for your excellent story telling abilities. Please consider Roman related material in your future projects. Rome needs you! As always, Love your work and will continue to buy!! Mike
