Dear Mr. Cornwell, “The Last Kingdom”… where do I start? This has to be the best book that you have ever written! Having a passion for this era in history, I find myself hearing the battle cry of the norse and feeling their battle lust. Again you have managed to describe religious belief in such away that you can see it at work, without proving or disproving the exsistance of it. In Uhtred you have created a warrior that feels so real, that you feel you are by his side in the shieldwall. I thank you for such a great book and can’t wait for the next instalment.
