Q

I found a few of the Saxon Stories books while shopping and thought I'd give them a try. I started the series while I was in Afghanistan and was absolutely hooked. I had the entirety of the series sent to me immediately after starting the first one. I just recently finished The Flame Bearer and was of course blown away yet again. The series has been an amazing read and I cannot wait for the next one. You've done an awesome job so far so please, keep up the good work!

Mr. Cornwell,

I wanted to write to you in appreciation of your Sharpe Series.  You see,  I serve as an Infantryman in the United States Army.  More specifically as a member of a Reconnaissance Team.  In the long hours I spent sitting in my truck with a radio hand mic next to me ear.  I'd drift away with a headphone in the other.  Listening to your novels.  I gained a sense of pride in my  chosen profession that I had been missing.  Too often we forget the dark places soldiers can drift into.  I had drifted into one of those places.  Your novels helped me drift out of it.  I just wanted to say thank you. I hope to Sharpe back at it.

Your fan,

Specialist Anthony Cipriano

2nd Battalion 69th Armor Regiment

I would like to thank YOU – for your service and for your message.  Your long hours of reconnaissance on behalf of the US Army are deeply appreciated.  Glad to know Sharpe kept you company!


Q

Dear Mr Cornwell

I just wanted to thank you for many hours of reading pleasure. I couldn't help feeling a bit sad as I bought The Flame Bearer from my local bookshop, as I realized I was coming to the end of your marvellous Uhtred series. I hope there will be more to follow.

With best wishes

I am writing only to express my eternal appreciation for you books.  I have read 99% of your books and will surely reach 100%.  I love the characters, and the history.  You books have become a part of me and the characters I will know my life.  Thanks!  This is just a note to express my appreciation...

One of the finest characters ever. I have also ready your Waterloo history just before visiting the battlefield itself.

I am a huge fan of you, Wilbur Smith, Daniel Silva and Nelson Demille. Whenever any of you publish I rush to the book store.

I was fortunate enough to interview you two times when you visited Toronto in the mid 80's after launching your Sharpe series. I too can't wait for you to go back to the Civil War but must have another Uhtred before then.

Cheers.  oh, and thank you.

Dear Mr. Cornwell,

I write from Italy and only recently I started reading his books; I was looking for the texts concerning the history of King Arthur that has fascinated me since I was little (now I'm 50 years old!) and I am happy to have discovered the great Bernard Cornwell !!!!

I wanted to write to compliment him, in the meantime continuing to read .....

... I hope I have written well in English, forgive me but I'm using Google translator!

Good morning, sir!

I know you're sick to the back teeth of this particular subject being constantly regurgitated, but if and when you decide on bringing Nathaniel back, please, please, please let me be the first to know...

We all live in hope that his imminent return will be sooner rather than later!!

All the very best,

Michael Craig from sunny Scotland.


Q

I just wanted to drop a quick note and thank you for all of your work. I drive about an hour to and from work every day and listening to your books through audio has made it so that I look forward to the drive every day! Currently I am listening to Heretic and am enjoying every minute!

 

I started the Grail series while I waited for the next novel in the Saxon Stories and am now just as hooked!

 

Thank you for these wonderful novels! I have greatly enjoyed every single one!

 

Sincerely,

 

Ryan Clevidence


Q

Mr. Cornwell,

I have just finished "The Flame Bearer". I believe I have read every book now and just want you to know how much I appreciate and admire each tale in every setting from Europe to India and on to North America. These books have brought many hours of complete delight to me. I live in Chilmark on the Vineyard and a good book on a quiet winter night is invaluable. My best and deep gratitude!

Q

Just a message of thanks. That's it. I have just retired as an School Principal in Ontario, Canada and believe it or not I used many of the themes of leadership that you gave to Sharpe.
