Mr. Cornwell, I wanted to tell you that I really appreciate the work you have done and look forward to every book you finish. The Starbuck and Arthur series are truly the best books I have ever read. For many years my main topic of reading was Civil War period books and have a large collection of them. That is how I came upon the Starbuck series and absolutely loved it. It brought to life in a much more tactile way a subject I was already very enamored with. I then started to collect other books you have done and have gone from one topic of literature to one author in whatever era he wants to write in, it just doesn’t matter. I have now read about half of the Sharpe books and like Sharpe almost as much as Nathaniel. Thanks for the wonderful tales and insight into historical times and places that you make so incredibly clear and alive. A true testament to your work is how depressed I am when I complete one of your series. You just don’t want them to end. Rob Bedlion.
