Dear Mr. Cornwell I've read almost everything you have written with the exception of the Starbuck Chronicles. I can't wait to see how the saxon series turns out. I very much enjoy your style and I never tire of Richard Sharpe and all the great adventures that surround him. I teach school in British Columbia and your novels are a highlight for me in the summer. I am writing a novel myself and if you would like to read it you'll have to buy a copy. As well, being Canadian a novel surrounding the battle on the Plains of Abraham would be awesome, too bad its before Sharpey's time. Thanks for the many hours of pleasure you provided me. Best luck with your future endeavours. Cheers, Barry

No need to respond- can't wait for next of series of Saxon stories. I have gotten several students to read Saxon and Sharpe books; they are hooked. Sort of hope that Cape Cod has a rainy summer so you are writing... I grew up south of Boston in Hingham and visit Cape every summer so I will be sort of hoping that it rains down your way. Thank you for all of your books. Judith Manning

Not a question but a comment: On 07 Oct 2005, a reader asked whether "anyone ever [has] made ... a concordance of your books." You answered, "Not that I know of. Probably best to wait till I'm dead, though." It's worth noting that a concordance of sorts has already started in wikipedia at . While this may not replace a dedicated scholarly effort, it will have to do for now. Regards, and thanks for your books. Bur.

I'm just writing to tell you your books are the best I've ever read. Thank you so much. Pete, age 16.

I'VE RECENTLY DISCOVERED YOUR BOOKS AND AM COMPLETELY HOOKED. NOT ONLY DO I ENJOY THE STORIES THEMSELVES, BUT I'M LEARNING ABOUT SEGMENTS OF HISTORY THAT WE JUST DIDN'T GET MUCH DETAIL ON IN HIGH-SCHOOL OR COLLEGE IN CLEVELAND. SATTELITE IMAGERY HAS ALSO GIVEN ME THE CHANCE TO SEE SOME OF THE SETTINGS YOU'VE USED. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH FUN I'VE HAD LOOKING AT THE CRECY BATTLEGROUND, OR GLASTONBURY TOR, OR SOUTH CADBURY HILL, OR TO LOOK DOWN AT WHERE YOU'VE SET GUENIVERE'S SEA PALACE AND SEEING WHERE IT LOOKS LIKE A STRUCTURE MAY HAVE STOOD AT ONE TIME. I UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S ALL FICTION, BUT IT SURE CAN BE FUN TO PLAY "WHAT IF". (MAN! I GOTTA GET A LIFE!) ANYWAY, THANKS FOR MANY HOURS OF ENJOYMENT. MIKE DAVIS

Hi! I am a Portuguese reader therefore I must have many errors. I want to say that I loved the book The pale horseman and that I want to say I want my mother to buy me the The Last Kingdom to know what happened to the Uhtred before coming to the Wessex. And also I have to wait for the translation of the last book of the trilogy to be able to read it. Jhonny

sir, I have read all your books to date, and I have found them really very good. I served several years in the merchant navy and reading was a primary form of entertanment, ['cept in port. I am now in my sixties and I still read just as much. So I would just like to say thank you very much for giving so much pleasure over the years, I think that your "Saxon Stories" are the best yet, and I wait with the quiet certainty that the next one will be as good if not better than your last, many thanks, your work keeps me quiet and content for hours, that pleases the wife, she also likes to read but not the kind of book you write. Glad really otherwise we would be arguing who was reading what! thanks again. please them coming. Alan

I just finished Lords of the North and devoured every page of it. When I bought the book, it was mentioned as the third part of a trilogy. Upon reading the historical notes at the end of the book, I see that Uhtred will be having further adventures. I am eager to continue this excellent saga soon. After reading The Grail Quest series, I have become an avid fan of your writings. Thomas of Hookton was, perhaps, one of the best characters that I have followed. I appreciate your work. James Watson

Many thanks for all your books, which I have got. Please please do not stop writing, I cannot wait for the new ones but is it possible you could write a bit quicker. Margaret Truckel

Hi Bernard, I discovered your talent last year in France with "le roi de l'hiver", then "le quatrième cavalier" this year and am now looking forward to reading the next Uhtred novel. I have read many books in my life but don't repeat it to my wife, I have never spent a better moment than when I read your novels. So thank you for writing these excellent novels, Bernard, and never stop ! Best regards, Erik
