I have listened to every thing you have written that my library carries (I drive for work a lot). But since I had listened to everything they had, I switched to other authors. I am going through James Reasoner's Civil War stories and was enjoying his work very much. Then I went back on the library site and found Sharpe's Eagle and got it immediately. I was blown away by the difference in your battle scenes vs Reasoner's. No disrespect to James, but your writing in those scenes is unparalleled in anything else I have ever read (I read 2-4 books a week). Fredrick Davidson is terrific reading your work as well. Tony

Dear Mr. Cornwell, Let me first start by congratulating you on your latest book which I enjoyed very much and found I were unable to put down. My name is Ian Campbell and until recently I was Rifleman Campbell of the First Battalion of the Royal Green Jackets a Battalion of which Im sure you are very knowledgeable of. I served three and a half years with the Green Jackets and saw operational service in Northern Ireland from 1999 to 2001. Initially when I joined the Army I had no idea what the battalion I was joining was and never appreciated how much it meant to be a Rifleman. I had heard of your work but was too wrapped up in music and chasing girls to truly learn about the battalion I had joined. Of course the army tried to educate me but while serving in Ireland duties required me to focus more on the work at hand rather than who I was serving. It wasnt until after my year and a half tour in Ireland that I found myself promoted to a signaler and was tasked with learning how to play the Bugle in line with regimental traditions that the history of the Rifle Brigade begin to sink in . I listened to the music of John Tams and found myself purchasing all your Sharpe books and of course the television series of which Im still a huge fan. Im sure you have heard this before but you turned my three and a half years serving in the Army to the most important years of my life of which Im still immensely proud and find Im unable to forget. I had no real reason for contacting you other than to say thank you for your work and for the pride that you have helped install within me. Yours sincerely Ian Campbell

This message (which does not need a reply) is just to let you know what immense enjoyment I have gained from reading your Sharpe novels. Over the years I had seen a few of the TV adaptations but, until four months ago, had not read any of the books. I have been busily putting this to rights and have just finished Sharpe's Waterloo. You have inspired me to read up on the history of the Peninsula Wars (not something I ever thought I would want to do). A sincere, thank you !

Hey Mr. Cornwell, My name is Jeff Toft. I live in California and I have read every book in the Saxon Stories and I will soon be starting Agincourt when I can save the money to buy it! I know you probably get these a lot but I wanted to say thank you. You do a great and wonderful thing and it does not go un-noticed. Thank you for your wonderful stories and the time and dedication you have spent writing these books for people like me to read :) Your Fan, Jeff

I don't have any questions for you. I just wanted to say that I've developed a real hunger or your writing. I'm sure you hear this a lot, but even so that's no reason to withhold my enthusiast encouragement for your efforts. So far the Saxon Tales are my favorite. I also truly appreciate the summaries at the end of each novel - what's made up, what really happened and how you have modified things to "tell a darn good yarn". Cheers - Seth

Greetings Mr. Cornwell, I just want to take this opportunity to tell you how much I enjoy the Starbuck Chronicles!! The Civil War is history that is close to my heart in more ways than one. I had often thought of putting my ancestors 'names and faces' into a book, but Heaven only knows it would be biased!! (NC here and our little place had Kirks raiders invasions from time to time as well as the last battle of the war---actually after the war.) Anyhow, thank you for all your time and research and also for sharing it with us!! Those volumes of books are a great read!! Sincerely, Terri Jo

Sir, You can always be counted on for a crackin' good yarn. I look forward to every book. Thank you for the hours of enjoyment. Jerome

Dear Mr. Cornwell, Thank you very much for the joy your work gives me. I've read ALL of your books, including the latest, "Agincourt". I can't wait for the next one! Hopefully Nicholas Hook will have another great adventure very soon! Michael

Bernard, My brother turned me on to your books several years ago when he gave me the first 2 books of the Saxon series as a gift. I have since read the Saxon, Arthur, and Grail Quest series as well as Stonehenge, Gallows Thief, and, most recently, Azincourt. I have Redcoat and Scoundrel waiting in the wings. I have enjoyed your writing immensely and can't wait to for the next Saxon title. I will also be tackling the Sharpe series in the (hopefully) near future. I also wanted to make a point to thank you for your mention of Conn Iggulden in a post a while back. My brother and I have greatly enjoyed reading his books as well. Having a common reading history has given my brother and I countless hours of fun and interesting conversation. You have been a big part of that and I just wanted to say "Thank you". Keep on writing! -Scott
