Firstly let me say how much I have enjoyed your books over the years. I have finally finished reading the Grail Quest series and can now proudly say I have read everything you have yet published.
Whilst I enjoyed Death of Kings it didn’t seem to move the story along as much as I would have liked, although on the plus side this hopefully means more books in total. If you would take some advice from a fan then please never forget that these books are Uhtred telling his legend, a legend that lesser men tried to wipe away and claimed the credit for themself.
I look forward to the next Uhtred book which I hope you have started? I still think Uhtred is perfect for a U.S television series especially with the recent success of Game of Thrones & Pillars of the Earth. Please please ask the publishers to try and do a deal with HBO.
Or if not then a Role Play Game (RPG) in the Saxon Stories world where you play as a sword for higher with Uhtred’s story providing the back drop for the game. Lots of massive battles, morality choices and a little bit of Englands early history make for epic gaming in my humble opinion. Bioware make epic games. (I renounce all rights to these ideas.) I hope the Norns make it so.
