First I must state, I love all your books, I've read most if not all..

I love historical fiction and history...seems to me there are now many authors offering same subject matters..but one is missing.

The Sudan during the mandi times, specifically, the desert flying column sent to try bringing Gordon out of Khartoum..

The huge logistics, the camel training, the trek, and two huge battles, one where the square was breached but repaired..then canoe up the nice to late for Gordon but many tribulations of the column...plenty heroics..Great story never really written in its own right as far as i can tell..but, I suspect you could rise to that challenge...a cracking story waiting to be told..

Dear Bernhard Cornwell,

For many years I have delighted in your writing. I have all your work on my bookshelves. My enduring favourites are the Sharpe series. As a small boy I was given a toy soldier for my third birthday thus begining a life long love affair. I am presently 72 years old.

At the age of fourteen I came across Georgette Heyer's book "A Infamous Army"This was my introduction to Wellington and Waterloo. It was the discovery of your Sharpe stories , that are really the history of Wellington's military career that opened my eyes to the whole Napoleonic History.

I thought I had read the last of Sharpe with your "Sharpe's Waterloo", so it was with great joy I unwrapped my wife's Xmas present to me and found " Sharpe's Assassin "

It is a fitting end to the saga.

Thank you for all the adventures, but more so, thank you for the History

my very best regards,

Simon Chance,

Hi Just a comment on the question from Michael dated 7 December 2022.  I have just been re-reading with enjoyment the Last Kingdom series and to answer his question I can identify the mention of the amulets as being 38 hung from the hem of his mail coat as he walks towards Ludd Gate and a couple of pages later asks Sihtric his servant at that time to pick up the amulet of the warrior with the raven wing helmet who died well.  All in the part midway through Sword Song where they capture London from the Danes.  He should now be sure of his pint.

I've enjoyed so many of your books that I've lost count!

I downloaded Wildtrack onto my Kindle and discovered something really spooky:- I share the same name as your hero, Nick....

I am a Falklands Veteran - but not a VC - although I did receive the task Force Commander's Falklands Commendation!

Injured, I underwent spinal surgery and a double osteotomy of the right knee - and both still give me a certain amount of discomfort.

After the Falklands War, I bought, rebuilt and sailed  a classic wooden boat - mahogany on oak frames....similar to Sycorax.

Greatly enjoying Wildtrack - and wishing you a happy and healthy New Year.

Merry Christmas

Hope all is well.

Thinking Uhtred must have multiple Grandchildren who can carry on Last Kingdom Series?

Instead of the "traditional" Son of Series, you could write Grandson of Uhtred and continue The Last Kingdom Series.

Your books are awesome!

 

THANK-YOU

Dear Friend,

I just finished reading Fools and Mortals.  I love your books and have read most of them.  This one made me cry in a good way.  For that I thank you, and for your hutzpah in tackling Shakespeare.  Even though we have never met and in all probability never will, I do think of you as a friend.  Such is the power of the preforming arts.

Thank you,

Ted
