Dear Mr. Cornwell,
Many years ago a good friend recommended your Warlord Series and for years I’ve been glad he did. Subsequently, I’ve been able to read through the life of Derfel, as well as, Uhtred, Sharpe, Starbuck, Thomas and recently, the good Rider Sandman. I’ve enjoyed your books throroughly and know for sure that were it not for your books my fantasy sports teams would be named other than, “The Lords of War”, “Black Bears”, etc., I’ve introduced your books to many friends and they have been the enthusiastic subject of much conversations on hunting/fishing trips. Also, because of the Saxon Stories I’m very much enjoying the History Channel’s new series: Vikings. The characters pulled from a common history ring familiar and enjoyable. Were it not for your books I would have passed the series by. I guess I just wanted to thank you for enriching my life and helping me to pass the time in the air when traveling and providing me with much needed historical information in a fun and entertaining way.
I’m really looking forward to 1356 and something new in the Starbuck series? All the best.
Jeff Hughes
