At the risk of taking up some of your valuable time I firstly wanted to thank you! I’ve read all your books except the Sharpe books (I’m about to start them!) and quite frankly I’m speechless! I started the last kingdom series when a difficult period of my life began (which also hasn’t ended yet), however working my way through Uhtreds story, then Derval’s, Arthur’s and Saban’s! your books have helped me keep my head above water and honestly keep my life on track! Uhtred and Arthur, although they have their flaws (as all good protagonists should) as you tell their stories, they are men to be revered.

Having said that my most burning question is will we ever hear from Thomas of Hookton again?

As he did not die at the end of 1356, It seems a shame to hang up Thomas’ bow (or at least Thomas’ family’s story!) there is undoubtedly more cathar treasure to be lost?

If not Thomas then perhaps a continuation where we see his son Hugh move through the ranks! Then even Hugh’s son?

Where the warlord chronicles clearly had the storey told in the trilogy, there’s so much more of the Hundred Years’ War to tell, and specifically through Thomas and his descendants! I understand every story must have it’s end, but I can’t help but ponder whether there is more to Thomas’s tale? Is his tale and/or any potential continuation from his sons/grandsons totally out of the question?

 

All the best,

 

Tom Pratt.
