Mr.Cornwell, I’ve just finished reading your American series re ‘Starbuck’,excellent.When will you consider continuing it to its ultimate conclusion?,I’m eagerly awaiting its continuation. I have read Motley’s ‘Rise of the Dutch Republic’,fortunately an early edition,back in 1978,found in the UK,prior to my move to work and live in the Netherlands,which I shared with my NL Managing Director,when I asked how he found it,his response was “exceptional,but annoying that it was written by a ‘Buitenlander'”. an incredible. Have you ever considered covering that portion of History? As you are probably aware it is considered the only true ‘unofficial’ History of the founding of the Netherlands,from its period when Charles V,born in ‘Utrecht’ and was fond of ‘William of Orange’,making his own son Phillip jealous of William. Motley’s books were extremely detailed and so well researched on the facts,which still read as easily as a novel. I have read the majority of your books. I particularly enjoyed your last ‘Azincourt’,which I read prior to going into the Starbuck series. Few People know about Motley. Thankyou for you work,which gives me great pleasure to read,and thankyou for maintaining reality to historical facts with your fictional creations. Sincerely Jon Mathers
