Mr Cornwell please may I congratulate you on behalf of every living person that’s ever tried to educate me let alone get me to voluntarily read a book. My name is Martin I am 21 years old and I’m a plumber. I very rarely rite letters of any sort which is the beauty of having a trade. However I feel as though I should write to you in thanks I’m quite confident in my reading and writing now and I hold you entirely responsible. Although I am eternally great full I am afraid you have ruined TV for me all together I was utterly let down by sharpe the series and I have read almost all of them and because of this realisation that TV and films are nowhere near as enjoyable as your books I have nearly run out of your books to read. Is it normal to feel an incredible loss when finishing a series like the warlord trilogy? I was heart broke.Azincourt Like I’d lost an arm. Gallows thief. Gutted But life goes on I suppose was my thinking, until I read the Starbuck chronicles. The loss of Nathaniel has definitely upset me into writing to you and I think it is not fair to convert somebody from a tv slob to a book worm only to be rewarded with this feeling. As a reasonable man I can’t see how any one can expect me to read another author. But this does not solve my problem. Starbuck is still out there somewhere and I need you to find him for the good of the confederacy. I understand you are infinitely busy however I’m afraid I can’t excuse the lack of this book just one more. Please. For the sake of thick people every where that were never really interested in anything before travelling to Richmond on horse back only to get stranded there I compel you beg you demand of you, bring back Starbuck. Thanks again. Martin
