Dear Bernard,

I’ve come late to your books and especially enjoy the Saxon Tales with Uhtred of Bebbanburg which I’ve read three times up to the 8th book.  I’ll be getting the 9th when I return to Maui.

The movement of the Saxons from Germany westward to Britain — and then to North America is an intriguing thing to look at especially since we now seem to have an Apex Saxon as president.  There is much debate about immigration, but nothing is given, everything is taken…  In your books, the invader, first the Saxons in the Arthurian era and then the Danes in the Saxon tales have to fight for their right to party.

If you were to write a contemporary story of this latest “soft” invasion, from what position would your protagonist take?

Thanks — and I look forward to the continuation of the Saxon Tales even though I know they must end…

Best,

Malcolm
