Dear Mr. Cornwell – I was born a viking, fought my war in a small southeast asian country and now help run a hi-tech company. I’ve read all your novels and enjoyed them all. Yet, I’ve always wondered why you’ve never written about the times of John Churchill, the first Duke of Marlborough. It’s all there – a series of great wars (and a lot of little ones), the intrigue involved in the making and breaking of grand alliances, a commander who was never defeated. All set against a vista encompassing most of Western Europe. The technology is virtually the same as Sharpe’s. The British impetus and military tactics were similar to Sharpe’s time. Personally, I think it would provide a wonderful venue for a new series. Thoughts?? Thank you for your time. Best Regards, Carl Hagstrom
