Hello Mr Cornwell. I have been a big fan of yours ever since reading Sharpe’s Rifles many years ago. Since then I have read all the Sharpe books, Grail quests and the Arthur series. But my favourite series of books have to be the Starbuck series. You bring the war between the states to life and the characters are fantastic. But nearly 10 years after the last book we are still waiting to see what happens to Nate and his regiment. Does Nate survive the battles to come? I know that for those 10 years you have been VERY busy and have brought us many brilliant books but please could you continue the Starbuck series? I don’t know if you are put off completing the series by knowing that in the end Nate will be on the losing side and after all of Sharpe’s victorys this is putting you off completing the series.

Mr. Cornwell- I am a huge fan of your books. I am an American History buff and I read the Starbuck Chronicles and Redcoat to no end. I am writing to you because I would like to know if you ever plan to finish the Starbuck works. It has come to the point that I have re-read the 4 books so many times that I now have the chronicles memorized. I admire the effort it takes to writing a novel so if time is the issue how about providing us a short story on how the story ends? Just kidding of course. I wish you the best of luck on your future novels. Sincerly Frank Yocum
