I hope you can bare with my horrid spelling and grammar as I am not the most avid spelling guru, but regards to the several books you have written on Uhtred’s journey through life I must give you a salute and a bow as to the pleasure it is to read these books, my ancestry is a huge part of how I place myself in situations and while reading these books I lose myself I cry I feel my heart thud in a shield wall as though I am in it locked shield to shield with a Saxon or Dane. I just finished The Pagan Lord a few days ago and every day I wish I could get lost in his story and it may never end, but as I have seen you started him from a pup to now a Lord. The desire to know how my ancestors lived has been huge and I thank you for giving me an idea. You never forgot the smell of blood nor of men shitting themselves but the thrill of battle is in every young warrior to gain his honor and reputation.

I just want to tell you its honestly such a pleasure reading your book and it has been and ever will be my favorite series.

The warriors life lives in me yet as I am United States Marine, but to have a tale told such as Uhtred’s will never be. Again and forever more thank you sir.

P.S. The Christian God got me, lets hope Uhtred can keep his hammer around his neck.
