Bernard, Once again I have been immersed in the wonderful worlds your books create; and once again I find myself reading the books you recommend as the basis of your entertaining stories. My question is do you have any intention to continue the fine series of the American Civil War your ‘Starbuck Chronicles’. Hopefully after a 13 year rest Nat is ready to don the grey once again. I have an interest in the ACW and reading your books brings that exciting yet troubled coming of age era to a different life. I once read where you said that Starbuck was Sharpe in America. Perhaps for you writing them it may seem that way, but certainly not for this fan. Thank you so much for writing such riveting historical novels. I have just finished reading ‘A Crowning Mercy’ and ‘Gallow’s Thief’ and immensely enjoyed them both. Keep well Regards

Hi Mr Cornwell, I know you must be sick to death by now of people asking you, when will Starbuck return.Will he ever return, we left this marvellous character relatively early in the civil war with surely many adventures still ahead of him. Thirteen years later, there is still no sign of his return and rapidly approaching my sixtieth birthday, I am now wondering if I will ever see his return. Please, please, resurrect the wonderful Starbuck Chronicles.

Mr. G Dellow

Mr. Cornwell – I recently discovered your books and have enjoyed the first of the Saxon Stories and all four of the Starbuck Chronicles. The problem is, you left Nate (and us readers) hanging with an unfinished story. I know it has been over a decade since Starbuck went on vacation but any thoughts of continuing? In the mean time, it’s back to the Saxon Stories; they are interesting to me and educational for my English wife especially when we discuss her roots (I’m pure English she replies!) Thanks for the entertaining stories; please keep it up!

Bernard Now that the Burning Land is completed is there any chance of Nat Starbuck returning. We have now been waiting 13 years for his next adventure. Tony Contreras
