Mr. Cornwell, I have enjoyed reading “The Saxon Stories” and “The Grail Quest”. (I also have “Agincourt” in the queue) My purpose in writing was to let you know that I found “The Winter King” to be FANTASTIC. Your best work that I have read so far. I am through the first section of “The Enemy of God” and it doesn’t disappoint. I love that I have no idea where the story is going. I love how you subtly make the reader aware of what is at stake, the way you build tension, and that all of the characters seem real, plausible, and developed. (Making Lancelot despicable was a stroke of genius and I greatly enjoy despising him) It is the various relationships that set the Arthur books apart for me and the touch of romance cleverness that brightens that grim world. Derfel reminds me of Uhtred but the former seems to have a kinder heart. And who couldn’t love Arthur as you portray him, or Galahad, or Ceinwyn? Unfortunately Merlin reminds me very much of my Father :) I could go on and on; but I will resist. This seems silly to write, I simply wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed The Arthur books and express my appreciation. Take care,

Mark Lattin
