Hello sir!  Congratulations on the success of The Last Kingdom TV show.  Alex does a terrific job portraying Uhtred, to the point that I hear his voice when reading Uhtred’s tale.  I am rereading the series again…for the 3rd time to my son, Robert Jr., though he goes by Bobby not Robb.  He is the inspiration for this question:  You have indicated that Uhtred is not retiring even though he has finally captured his home.  Once he does retire, have you considered carrying on the story with Uhtred Jr.?  R.W. Peake, author of the Marching With Caesar series, did so with first the son, then the grandson, of Titus Pullus, his original protagonist, quite splendidly.  I have read every fiction book you have written and greatly enjoy the Saxon Tales specifically.  It would be quite satisfying to read the culmination of Alfred’s dream when Britain is united by his grandson and, I suspect, Uhtred Jr. would have a significant hand in assisting with this triumph.  I also suspect I am not the only fan who would enjoy reading the exploits of Uhtred Jr.  Finally, thank you for providing so many hours of entertainment through the years.  I look forward to Saxon Tales book 11.
