Mr. Cornwell,

Just a note, probably a long one, expressing my gratitude for your books.  I particularly enjoy military and historical fiction and you, Sir, are a master of the genre.

I first discovered your work when browsing the used book section in a ‘warehouse’ bookseller back in the 90s and came across a dog eared hardcover edition of Copperhead.  I had never heard of you but the book looked interesting so I purchased it for under $2.  When I finally read it, I had picked up a copy of the Silmarillion as well and that had to be read first, I was totally surprised and enjoyed it enough to track down the rest of the Starbuck Chronicles after I finished it.

I’ve now read all of your series and several of your one off books.

Keep up the good work!

A grateful fan,

Thomas Alderson
