Just finished your 9th book about Uhtred. Another masterpiece.  Could not put it down. It arrived in Las Vegas, NV Tuesday, and I reluctantly finished it Friday. First discovered you (and Sharpe) in the Air University Library, Maxwell AFB, Ala. when I was a research historian. Like Sharpe, I rose from the ranks and retired as a USAF Captain.  At first I just borrowed your books but now have almost everything you’ve written. Amazon UK sends me the latest book as soon as it’s released, so I probably have the first copy in Las Vegas. It already went into the bookcase I have reserved for you. Well done with what happened to Brida.  Like you, I was born in England, grew up in Ipswich, but emigrated to Phoenix in 1963.  The USAF sent me on 2 foreign assignments–RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk, where I was the wing historian, and RAF Alconbury near Huntingdon where I was the Public Affairs Officer.  My wife really enjoyed the first episode of The Last Kingdom but was surprised  I knew most of the story.  So far it’s been well done. BBC America offered me episode 2 and I’ve almost succumbed to the lure of Uhtred on demand. Could not resist reading  Warriors of the Storm so quickly. It grabbed me right from the start. Thanks again for the wonderful stories you have given us.
