Greatly enjoyed Last Kingdom and look forward to next instalment – and what an interesting connection in Saga mag. Presume Starbuck and Thomas of Hookton not forgotten and will be marching again sometime and surely Sharpe cannot rest? Your endosement Conn Iggulden fully justified – just finished his latest – serious rival for you there! Thank you for the enjoyment you have given since you began writing. I found the Arthur trilogy especially exciting as I know the Abermule area well from holidays; wish I had a pound for each time I have cycled up Derfel’s valley – where you stayed for a while – imagination is a wonderful thing!
