The winter king. I cant say anything that can truly translate the feeling of being swept away into Derfel's story and feeling as if I'm also looking at Arthur in amazement. Truly epic. I also love the type of paper used in the U.S 1995 pressing.

Mr. Cornwell, I just wanted to send a very sincere thank you for your incredible "Saxon Tales". I am very pleased to have discovered these books. Being a history buff, my favorite period is the viking age,I have read as much factual books as I can, but also try to get fictional books on vikings and until finding yours, my favorite fictional book was "The Was of the Gods". I first found "The Burning Land" but when I realized that it was actually number five of a series, I went back and got the first four so I could read them in order. I got them last Thursday, and am almost through the second! I absolutely love these books! They are fantastic from an historical standpoint but Uhtred is awesome! The Danes are so cool, too. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! As long as you write about Uhtred, I will buy them!!

Mr. Cornwell, I have enjoyed reading "The Saxon Stories" and "The Grail Quest". (I also have "Agincourt" in the queue) My purpose in writing was to let you know that I found "The Winter King" to be FANTASTIC. Your best work that I have read so far. I am through the first section of "The Enemy of God" and it doesn't disappoint. I love that I have no idea where the story is going. I love how you subtly make the reader aware of what is at stake, the way you build tension, and that all of the characters seem real, plausible, and developed. (Making Lancelot despicable was a stroke of genius and I greatly enjoy despising him) It is the various relationships that set the Arthur books apart for me and the touch of romance cleverness that brightens that grim world. Derfel reminds me of Uhtred but the former seems to have a kinder heart. And who couldn't love Arthur as you portray him, or Galahad, or Ceinwyn? Unfortunately Merlin reminds me very much of my Father :) I could go on and on; but I will resist. This seems silly to write, I simply wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed The Arthur books and express my appreciation. Take care,

Dear Bernard, I have never been a gadget fan but a while ago my husband got me an amazonkindle and much to my surprise I really like it and use it a lot. When Death Of Kings came out I was pleased to be able to download it onto my kindle and start reading it straight away. I enjoyed it very much, thank you. It was good to be back with Uhtred again, still up to his neck in trouble but always managing to survive. I particularly liked the part at the beginning where Uhtred was saved by the shepherd, his dogs and the sheep. Once again thank you, I am now looking forward to the next part of Uhtred's story. Yours sincerely, Lesley Foster.
I have read all your books from Sharpe and sailing novels onwards all great.Now The Fort.Not a novel not true history but the worst book you have written.

Mr. Cornwell, Could you please scold your American publishers for not releasing your books at the same time as the British publishers. It's really annoying to have to wait until January until I can get hold of Death of Kings. Since the language is the same and there are no differences in the editions, i don't understand what the reason is.

I will send your comments along!
Mr Cornwell I only read the saxon chronicles I don't read your others books but I like Uhtred and that history. I hope you keep writing about the vikings and I wonder when he gonna retake Bebbanburg

dear Mr. Cornwell, I just want to thank you for the joy you bring me day by day. thank you very much and I can`t wait to read how it will be going on with Uhhred. Unfortunately I live in Germany,so I have to wait. greetings from cologne, your biggest fan, Susanne
Having recently visited Bamburgh Castle in Northumbria, I feel nauseous for Uhtred's impending battle to retake Bebbanburg's fortress. If the fortress of Alfred's day is anything near as formidable as the Norman castle, he has his work cut out for him!

Mr. Cornwell, Just wanted to let you know I love the Saxon Stories. I am listening to them through Audible. My only complaint is that they are not all available unabridged. I also wanted to tell you that Tom Sellwood is a phenomenal narrator and made book 3 a joy to listen too. I hope you will use him for future reads. Thanks again for your good work.
