I just finished The Flame Bearer, and it did not disappoint. I am a big fan of Uhtred! Of course you are not finished with him, YEAH! It might be interesting to know what his early life would have been like–noble heir to slave to favored adopted son to young (pre-Alfred) warrior. My husband and I started off listening to The Grail Quest series on tape on our long commutes to work. Since then I have read almost everything you have written. I admit that I am an action junkie, and you provide that wrapped in great, intriguing stories with educational historical notes. Also I am glad that you went back and filled in the gaps of the Sharpe Saga. I wish American TV would run the British productions of those books. I have only seen 1 or 2. Again, thank you for your body of work. You and Ken Follett keep my need for historical fiction alive.
