Well know that there are games with muskets and rifles but they are mostly strategy there has never really been a 1st person shooter or 3rd person shooter done with those types of weapons at all but maybe you could take a Operation Flashpoint view where you can issue commands or be given commands in your battalion and company or in your skirmish line. If it was made you could have the main characters to use like Sharpe, Harper and Hagman etc. but you could also give the player a chance to create their own soldier to choose which regiment you join the life in the camp or while marching so it's not a strictly mission based game. Also in createing your own character you can come up from the ranks from your heroic deeds on the battlefield maybe if they were insurbordinate to an officer but saved the battle you can be forgiven or flogged by your Colonel as I know privates were. Maybe your character could desert and fight for the enemy. I just think if this was put into a game then it could really work and be successful. David Evans

Bernard you should try to write some Science fiction books, I'd buy them. John Whitcomb

Mr Cornwell your books have given me a lot of pleasure, and opened up my eyes to English history. I have always been intrested in Arthurian history, and started reading your work with the Winter King, however it was after reading Harlequin on holliday that I became enthralled with medieval history, especially local history in the North East of England. Your description of the battle of Nevilles Cross was breathtaking, living in Durham it is something I could relate to. I work in a Prison in Durham and spend a lot of time trying to get my workmates to take an interest in the culture on our door step, I think they are sick of hearing the "FOR GOD AND ST GEORGE" battle cry but it has made them more aware and prouder of our English Heritage.Anyway my question to you would be to ask what books you use for reference especially relating to the North east. I have just started reading the Last Kingdom, and find it so far to be an excellent book, especially as we have regularly hollidayed at sea houses and spent many days walking up the coast to bamburgh castle, it makes the book almost real, and gives you a good feeling being familiar with what your reading about. Many thanks, Paul Trotter

I read the Richard Sharpe series, loved them. Then I read the grail series. Even better. I was so disappointed that there were only three in the series. Then I read the Arthur series. Loved it. Loved it. Loved it. But now I am reading the story of Uhtred. This is the best yet. I can't wait until I can get my hands on the third in the series. I am reading the second veerrryyyy slowly so I am not left bookless. I have been tempted to have friends in the UK buy that version and ship it to me. I am so happy that you intend a 4th book in the series. Don't waste time responding to this e-mail. Get back to writing. I can be very impatient...Constance Sinclair

I just wanted to thank you for the many hours of reading enjoyment I have received from your books. I have read the Starbuck Chronicles, The Grail Quest, about half of the Sharpe books and the first two books of the Saxon stories.Also, book 1 of the Arthur series. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of them and I'm anxiously awaiting book 3 of the Saxon stories. I hope you never tire of writing as you are my favorite author! Patrick Dillon

Dear Mr Cornwell . I just want to say thanks , your books have brought me many hours of happiness i live in South Africa and am sure i am your number one fan out here, cant wait for 10/07 to read more about Uhtred well once again thanks, Neil

Mr. Cornwell, I wanted to let you know how very much I enjoy your books. I first discovered your writing through the Arthur trilogy, and it remains one of my favorites. From there I proceeded to read the Archer's Tale and the Sharpe books. I am currently enjoying your series on Alfred the Great. I am a history teacher at a high school in Florida and highly reccomend your books to my students who ask me if there are any good history books to read. My wife, who swears she hates history, is also an avid fan. I just wanted to say thank you for providing so many hours of wonderful entertainment. Sincerely, Jeff Woods

Mr. Cornwell:I just finished "The Pale Horseman" and enjoyed it very much. I'm looking forward to "The Lords of the North" with eager expectation. This series is of great interest to me as I am a descendant of Anglo-Danes from Northumbria. I have also read the The Arthur Books and enjoyed them equally as well. Roger Letsom

hi mate. have read your books billions of times and am still not bored. u are a god among mere mortals man. there aint no question i wanted to ask u but just to say, even though it is not my place, to please never turn the the saxon stories into a TV series i dont care what other readers say images are no match for words. the sharpe TV series were great but are nothing compared to the novels. if you ever decide to do anything like that make it into a film because those companies have the money to turn it into something truly phenominal. anywho's i've been mumblin on for to long as it is. just keep up the good work man and make sure it never wears u down. cheers mate Mongo

Mr Cornwell, I have read all books and it is hard to have to wait for the next one, we do however and it makes it all the better when you do publish another one, keep up the great work, it makes it all worthwhile. thanks, Andy
