Hello Mr. Cornwell,
We just finished “Warriors of the Storm”, another wonderful adventure as are all your Uhtred stories.
Now simply cannot wait for the last book to come out in November.
We just want you to know how much your frank depiction of Christian nonsense is appreciated, especially way back in history when everyone (for obvious reasons) was so extremely superstitious.
Seems most stories (whether books or movies) of ancient times tend to be equally religious which always detracts from their enjoyment for us.
Our family doesn’t embrace the typical religion-dominated “meaning” for practically every holiday or event, rather we revel in the likes of Richard Dawkins and Bill Maher so find your tales delightful!
Please know, if you ever feel low from Christians bashing you about your retelling of their supposed glorious stories, etc., there are many of us out there that truly ENJOY your take on the destructive tedium of Christians in early times!!
My husband and 3 sons are history lovers, we discuss Uhtred’s escapades even knowing it’s only a story loosely based on historical records. It’s done so well it somehow helps strengthen the imagination which is always a good thing!
Thank you for sharing your great creativity, we love you.
