Dear Mr. Cornwell,
I just looked up the kindle-website for your next book and realised – ok, i`m through. With everything. Have to wait till autumn until my old friend Sharpe returns.
I`m a 52-year old welder from Germany, noticed your name after watching the first season of “the last kingdom”. In this weeks back then three years ago I decided to repolish my rusted english and bought the first Uhtred-book in English … and found the books so much better, richer, more inspiring then the movies. The same applies to Lt.Col. Richard Sharpe. Meanwhile I know much more about english history then about my own, my wife always hears me sighing: “Why don`t we have a Bernard Cornwell”
My last book of you was wildtrack, finished yesterday, and I really want to say that you wrote not one single boring and disappointing novel in your whole live. Can`t say the same about my other favourite writers Salman Rushdie, Jonathan Frantzen, John Irving. So thank you for three years of good entertainment, for improving my english, for raising my interest in english history.
I wish you a long life meaning I wish for myself a lot more of Cornwellstuff. Can`t wait to meet my old pal Sharpe again.
Love and reverence,
Wolfram Ackner
