I really want to thank you for the trust I regain for Historic Literature through your books. In 3 days I ve read twice (some parts even 6 times until i understand the full meaning of them) the first 2 books of Saxon Stories. You cant imagine my disappointment when I learned that the translation of the others in Greek are still "being awaited". (as you can clearly understand from my writing ... I couldn't be able to read them in English) Once again I want to thank you and wish ... keep up the good work. Eystratios Remalidhs

Just wanted to tell you I found your books when I found Agincourt. I am now finishing The Last Kingdom and my library is getting The Pale Horseman. Once I start a series I finish it. It brightens one's day with a terminal lung disease sir,and I thank you for your stories. Mickey

My wife and I love your Saxon series and we can't wait till January 2010 to read series #5. We hope there are more.

Dear Mr. Cornwell: The Saxon Stories are my favorite. Today, I saw the the Burning Land is the next book. I hope not the last. I am so disappointed because I can not buy it yet. I have read the last four books over 5 times each. When is the next book being released? It would really make my summer if it it is released soon. I can't even get it from the UK - BUMMER! Best regards; Keep up your great work. Best regards; Robert Geise

Hello Mr Cornwell, have just completed Azincourt. A really wonderful read. What strikes me about war is all the hard slogging before a battle. The movies never quite bring this aspect to life. What I like about your writing is I never quite sure what will happen with the subplots. Barbara Tuchman wrote a book called " A DISTANT MIRROR" and in a lot of ways I see Azincourt as a companion to this book even though they are two hundred years apart. In the Distant Mirror there is an English soldier of fortune called Hawkwoode. What a story. He lives to a good age and marries royalty. Only you could do his life story justice. I hope you do. Look forward to your next book, warm regards from China. Nicholas Langrick.

Hey I love your books, keep on making them they want me to read.

I just wanted to tell you that I'm SOO looking forward to the fifth Alfred novel to come out in October!!! Great books! I especially like how Uhtred sees the contrast between the Nordic beliefs and the Christian religion, and all the irony. Thank God you've written so much already, and I hope you'll make it to 120 in good health (and writing mood), so the supply will never end ;-). (Unlike Swedish author Stieg Larsson who produced three extraordinary novels only to pass away at 50...)! Greetings from Germany Gundula Manderscheid

I have been reading your Sharpe novels for the last two years or so and always read the Historical Notes at the end of each book. I have finished Sharpe's Havoc a couple of days ago and your reference to A History of the Peninsular War reminded me of a news item I heard on radio five live a few weeks ago. A copy of the second volume ( the one you refer to ) was recently returned to a library in America ( the name of the state escapes me )by the descendants of a soldier who "borrowed" the book from a public library during The American War of Independence in 1859- ie 150 years overdue! The person who returned the book did so on the proviso that they would not be fined! Regards Geoff Kearsley Ormskirk Lancashire

Dear Mr. Cornwell, as I have mentioned in one of my previous posts, my name's John and I am 13 and I love your books. Altogether I have read the whole Starbuck series, Stonehenge,most of the Saxon stories, a few Sharpe books, and Redcoat. Thanks to you I am walking history class! I can not thank you enough for your books. I pray that you get a knighthood. All the best John.

I wish you had a twitter, sir. It would be an honor to follow your updates about your work and specially about the book The Burning Land. And it would be easier for you to link stuff to your site and avoid false informations. It's just a thought anyway... I'm a big fan and wish you the best. Vivi Maurey
