Dear Mr Cornwell
After serving in the Armed Forces in Iraq and around the world I found during my various tours and deployments that I actually had a lot of what we call ‘down time’. With nothing of recreation to do and with the worries/stresses and horrors of an active tour I found solitude in reading your many works. Your attention to detail and factual knowledge are second only to your splendid writing style that makes putting one of your books down a challenge in itself. I honestly believe that without your books, especially the Warlord Chronicals and Saxon Stories, I would have succumbed to the strains of active service as when back at base your books became my ‘Safe Place’.
Yours
Gary
