Hello mr.Cornwell,

As an amateur with an interest in everything related to history, I very rarely read fiction, so I only discovered your books recently by chance (my wife, knowing my passsion for history, bought me the Warlord Chronicles trilogy for our wedding anniversary). And I must say that I loved these books immediately and was barely able to put them away. And that, as far as fiction is concerned, makes you one of the rare few writers that managed to grip me (the others being Stephen King, terry Pratchett, and Agatha Christie).

Now, my next planned reading of your books will be the “Starbuck” books. I see that there are 4, but I was wondering: are you planning to revisit the American Civil war era in the future?
I may be interested in history in general, but the American Civil War and the American Old west hold a special interest for me, so you can imagine I’m looking forward a lot towards these books (as a matter of fact, my wife took the Warlord Chronicles, but would have bought me the Starbuck books had they been in stock).

Also (you will probably have heard this question hundreds of times before), but is the name Starbuck a nod to the Battlestar Galactica character?

I hope I didn’t take too much of your time. Anyway, thanks for reading me.

Kind regards,

Patrick Stevens.
