Hi Bernard,

 

I have always been an avid reader of history, especially military history. My father introduced me to your books on Uhtred and I have devoured them until I became caught up a few years back. I also came across a computer game called “Mount & Blade – Warband” which had an additional patch titled “Viking Conquest”. It seems to me that the game is inspired by your works, and does include a character named Uhtred floating about. In summary, the game pretty much let’s you play out your Saxon or Viking fantasy of raiding, fighting, and conquering, enemies like Æthelhelm, etc…and/or usurp them all and create your own kingdom. Personally, I found Brycheinoig and Cornubia ripe territories on which to found my Viking kingdom, but now have the pesky Irish raiding my lands.

 

I was wondering if you have seen or heard of the game, and if not you should check it out! Although, I do fear it may hamper your writing of the next Uhtred book.

 

-Best,

David F
