Hello,

First of all I just want to say how much I have absolutely enjoyed your Saxon Tales series. I’ve read all 11 books, and your series has me hooked on that genre. My question is: How do you intend to reconcile the fact that Uhtred is getting very old (particularly for his time period where life spans were short and he is probably three to four times the expected), arguably too old to fight battles and lay siege, for this upcoming book and any future books of this series?

Please leave out any spoilers as I am very much looking forward to reading it.

Thank you.

Jeff
