I just finished the Arthur Books and I am very sad this tale must end. I have read everything youve written except for the Saxon Stories and Sharpes Fury (next on the list). I have had the freedom to consume your work at will and have gorged myself on all of it. I too think the best so far are the Arthur Books. I say that after each series; Sharpe was the best, the Grail Quest was the best, then the Starbuck Chronicles, then the Arthur Books and next in line will probably be the Saxon Stories. The net of it all is that EVERYTHING you write, I read and it has all been great entertainment and motivated me to learn more from a historical perspective. I dont know if I can take it when I catch up to you, but I wanted to thank you for enriching my life. Now, get back to work! Mike Tally

Dear Bernard and Judy, I just finished reading your 2 books; "A Crowning Mercy" and "The Fallen Angels" and I wanted to tell you both what wonderful books they are!! I was very impressed with both books. You both are quite a team! Thanks again for writing 2 of the best books I've ever read. I love reading Historical Fiction and yours is by far the best I've read! Your Fan & Friend, Jane Elizabeth Hames from Monmouth, Illinois.

Dear Mr Cornwell,I am from Portugal and recently I read the books the Last Kingdom and the Pale HorseMan and immediatly I select you as my favourite writer...the story of Uhtred is amazing and absolutely incredible. Thank you. Nuno Salgueiro

oi, my name is Bruno Furiatti, of Brazil, and is its fan, incindicional, read almost all its books and finds you one of the biggest writers of the century. It badly forgives the traced lines, therefore I do not write in English, and I used a translator in the Internet. Abraço of its fan, in Brazil.

Hi, I've recently found several of your books available in electronic form on the Sony Connect store. I enjoy them very much, and I'd just like to encourage you to release the rest of them in that format so that we might be able to enjoy Sharpe's complete stories electronically! Thanks again, Brian

Hello I have so much enjoyed your books on the Starbuck Chronicles ..I have just finished reading The Bloody Ground Volume Four. Just please tell me there is a Volume 5 or there will be because I can't find one anywhere ..Thanks for your time and Happy Holidays, Mike Vaccaro

thanks for all the great stories. But being a southern man myself I feel I must beg you for a conclusion to the starbuck series . PLEASSSE! PLEEASSSE! Matt

Waiting with baited breath for Uhtred to be given the chance to finish what others started. Gerrit Zwiep

Am finishing the last Sharpe book, having read them all in order--much to the delight of our local librarian--and have also finished the Grail series, Starbuck, Arthur, Stonehenge,& the Saxon series. I think that makes 35 terrific reads in all and am waiting for more! Thaks for the great times! Jerry Prater

Dear Mr. Cornwell, I'm a 15 year old Brazilian citizen, and I have been a reader of your books for the past three years. I would just like to thank you for the wonderful books you have been writing, be certain that you have many fans here in Brazil (I have many friends in Rio de Janeiro who, like me, love your work). I read six of your books in the translated version, and bought the other ones in Amazon.com. Either in Portuguese or English, they were excellent! Thanks again, Isabel

Dear Bernard Cornwell, Thank you for introducing me to C S Forester. I was hanging out for Sharpes Fury or The Winter King and came across Death to the French and The Gun. I have since found Mr Midshipman Hornblower. I have read the first and most of the third. In a way, Sharpe is a splendid hommage to Rifleman Dodd. I still havent found a copy of The Winter King, but will keep trying in both new and second hand bookstores. I have both others in the series but want to read the first volume first. One of your email correspondents asked about other books about Arthur. Of course, there is The Once and Future King by T H White. One series I particularly enjoyed was by Mary Stewart. It started with The Crystal Cave and is told from the point of view of Merlin, beginning with the development of his power. The fourth volume, after Merlin lost his power to Nimue, I found much less enjoyable. Sigh. Memo, dont kill off your hero. Many thanks again, Elizabeth Smith
