Dear Mr. Cornwell,
After reading The Fort, which I enjoyed immensely, I decided to re-read the Starbuck Chronicles. In Rebel I noticed during the Battle of the Pontimac when Starbuck is having second thoughts he thinks of a relative who fought alongside Paul Revere at Penobscot Bay. I was wondering whether when writing Rebel you knew you would later write about Penobscot Bay, and why you did not write in a Starbuck Character into The Fort. I feel like that would have been quite a nice little self reference which many readers would enjoy. I hope to hear from you,
Yours sincerely,
Conor Keir
