Dear Mr Cornwell; Bernard,
We are neither of us getting any younger. Whilst I love nearly all of your books, I’m becoming increasingly concerned that one of us is going to pop off before I have reached the end of Uhtred’s tale. This would be an unacceptable situation, so I urge you now to stop messing about with all the other projects, fascinating though they may be, and get Uhtred back to Bebbanburg so I can rest in peace. It will be a day of mixed emotions when the tale is finished, since it means I have no more to look forward to but the alternative is, as I said, unacceptable.
I loved the Grail Quest series, the Arthur series, Stonehenge and, obviously, Sharpie! The quality of your research and historical accuracy, tying in with the fictional characters and events is Masterful. Keep it up but remember, Uhtred comes first!
Yours sincerely,
Steve Marsh. Lincolnshire.
