I just finished reading The Fort. It began with a visit to my island in Penobscot Bay then known as the Fox Islands. The British came ashore on the western side of a cove on the north island. It was here in the inside of this cove that my great grandfather lived. He was Captain Banks and I am not sure if he was on land or off at sea. The people who lived on the western side of the Cove where the ones that the British saw.. So I would like to thank you for a great read.

Dear Mr. Cornwell,

I have read the entire Kingdom series, every book.  Also Agincourt and the Sharp series on dvd played by Sean Bean.  Do I love your books.  Oh yes!  And today I received an email from Netflix telling me about a new series.  I read the description and I said to myself this has to be based BC's books!  So, I begin Season 1, Episode 1 and lo and behold I read among the credits "based on the books by....."  You cannot imagine my joy!  I just read the last one recently. I am an old bird, Mr. C.  Going on 70 and I love history and I adore your books.  I am a very happy lady.  And then I googled the show and found out a second season is due to be released this year.  It won't make it to Netflix until next year at the earliest, but so what.  A wonderful thing to look forward to.  What more can one ask for:  Game of Thrones and your books come to life.

 

Oh, and after I read your Agincourt, I took your recommendation and bought the one by Juliet Barker.  Fantastic.

 

Ok, the show has begun and I will be able to binge watch all 8 episodes in two sittings.  Oh Joy!

 

Thank you!

I second the request for a Starbuck revival. I so looked forward to the next book in the series. So much material there. The story was so well developed. The background, the action: I was right there: the smell of the battle, the images. You must still have manuscript/research material left? There's been a lot of water under the bridge since the last book was published. The Battle of the Wilderness, Murfreesboro, etc.For the last 20 years I've longed to urge you to complete this series. At last, a forum!

Poor Nate has been stuck in a deep freeze somewhere since your 4th book.  Hopefully Nate will be taken out and thawed out to finish the Civil War and then do like so many of his real contemporaries by being an instrumental part in the migration West.  I would be happy if he does the move West either in the US Army or as a civilian, but please do dust him off because he is one of your most entertain writings. Your readers are looking forward to seeing Nate in a TV series.  Can't be too soon.

My name is Ruben Baes, 30 years old. I studied at the university of Ghent, Belgium and graduated as a historian. Needless to say i like to read historic novels. So I quickly discovered your novels about 15 years ago. Among my favorites are the novels about Azincourt, Crécy, the Uhtred chronicles and I was particularly fond of The Fort.

Besides your novels I really like to read Patrick O'Brians Aubrey-Maturin series. "The last unfinished voyage of Jack Aubrey", published in 2004 was the last of it's kind. In my humble opinion I can think of only one writer to fill the vacuum. I'm not trying to slip you an idea but I can only hope you already have something in store for us. When we read about Uhtred we feel steel and dirt, perhaps in the future you can let us taste salt en feel the wind of a brisk northwestern.

I only want to add that i really enjoy your novels and I suggest them to my friends and family. I'm looking forward to the next installment of Uhtreds tale in octobre and although i feel the end of the series is nearing, I hope we'll see him again in 2017.

Kind regards from rainy Belgium

Hi Bernard,

Stayed in Northumberland, last week, visited Alnwick, Berwick-Upon-Tweed - and Bamburgh. In the gift shop they had your entire series of the Saxon Chronicles on sale. Must admit I didn't buy any, however, as I've long since added them to my bookshelf! But it's nice to see the link (and mutual benefit) between historic site and book setting. The book covers were inspiring editions.

Hi Bernard

I have just finished reading your book Waterloo. I knew little about this battle and after reading many modern battle books, I purchased your book and couldn't put it down. I absolutely enjoyed the way it was written. In NZ we have a city called Wellington and I live in Marlborough which is next to Nelson. I guess they are named after British war heros.

Thank You

The Last Kingdom series - Wonderful books, I have enjoyed them so very much.  Thank you for writing them

Mr. Cornwell,

I've been a long time fan of your novels and recently started re-reading the Warlord Chronicles, and I just have to say that I really admire your commitment to historical accuracy in your settings and in the mindsets of your characters. It seems like I can do a web search for just about any of the less blatantly Arthurian characters and find out that they're somewhere in the muddled region between mythical and historical figures.

I'm also a long time listener of the British History Podcast done by Jamie Jeffers. If you're into pod casts I'd highly recommend it. He provides a really accessible narrative that helps put the settings and greater narrative picture of sub Roman Britain and the Anglo-Saxon period. It's really made me appreciate some of the subtler historical bits you put in. I think there's one making a passing comment on King Offa in the Empty Throne.

I guess what I'm really trying to say is that I really appreciate your attention to detail and  how you weave it into your stories.
