Dear Mr. Cornwell: I was a late comer to your Sharpe series and the Starbuck Chronicles. I have now read or listened to all of them as well as just about everything else you’ve written. You are the best historical fiction writer of our day, and I say this as the author of 22 non-fiction books, a long-time magazine/newsletter editor, and a long-time freelancer AND the reader of thousands of mysteries, thrillers, and historical novels. I write to put my 2 cents in for more Starbuck books. I don’t know how an Englishman has been able to grasp the essence of the Rebel experience as well as you have, but we are blessed that you have. I am from Atlanta and I know, from my own soul stirrings and Southern history, that there is something unique about the Civil War experience in our Southern and national pysche that most people in the North do not understand. Your Nathan Starbuck character has captured that psyche perfectly. So, when Utred regains Babbenburg and Alfred tosses out the Danes, please return to Starbuck. I can’t wait to see how he influences the bBattles leading up to Gettysburg. He would have a heck of a time in the Wilderness campaign and he could be very influential around the death of Stonewall Jackson at Chancellorsville. Frankly, when Stonewall Jackson was shot, the South lost the War. Lee knew it in his heart. Longstreet couldn’t carry the Confederate army forward on his shoulders with Lee as Jackson could as Longstreet didn’t believe in an offensive war. Robert Perry

I’m sorry to say this on a kind of Sharpe site,but it was the only site I could find to contact Mr. Cornwell. I was wondering if you’re going to right any more Starbuck Chronicles books? I really love that series. Hope they make a movie of those books. Lee

Dear Mr. Cornwell I have enjoyed all of your books. In all of the different series, and look foreward the next book are doing. And I really look foreward to reading a new Starbuck Chronicles. I know that he is on vac. but it’s time to get back to the Civil War the south needs him. But if it’s not time I’ll keep on reading everything that you write. Yours Bill Turner
