Hi Bernard I’m a massive lifelong fan and have read everything you’ve ever written but to my shame I’m greedy for more, particularly more from Nate Starbuck. I first read the books when I was an awkward teenager and so the character really struck a chord with me. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the Grail chronicles and the Saxon series. I can also understand why writing about the dark ages would be an easier undertaking from a narrative sense than the densely documented civil war, but what can I say, I’m ungrateful and I’d really like to see another instalment from Starbuck. Please can you find it in your heart to return to poor Nate soon, I have literally waited half my life for the next instalment? Best Regards Jim

Mr Cornwell, Firstly let me say how much I enjoy reading all your books, I’m sure you have heard it time and time again but they are brilliantly written, and also indulge my passion for history. My question is whether Nate Starbuck will ride again?  Andrea Saunders
