Your Questions

Dear Mr. Cornwell,

I just have finished to read the Grail Quest and I wonder if you could tell me if you possibly know when, and if there will be a german tanslation for your new novel 1356.

With deep respect and greetings from Germany,
Aziz B.

I love your work
Is Sharpe going to be sent across the Atlantic to participate in the war of 1812?
Is there another book in the Saxon series coming?

Thanks

I would just like to say that I think it's time Nate came back from vacation, I really enjoy his character and would be very appreciative if you would bring him back. Good american civil war historical fiction is difficult to find and its been almost 2 Decades since Nate's last battle and there are almost 18 months of war to cover (if he lives).  Also I wish to tell you that I have more of your books than any other author, you are really one of the best storytellers I have ever run across.  Thanks for the good times.

I also am a huge fan. Have read all the Sharp Books plus several others. I just finishing the most recent of the Starbuck Chronicles and note on the cover that is the "fourth and final". What a downer. I hate to loose Starbuck, his friends and his enemies. Will there be any more? Could we prevail on you to" take up you pen" again on his behalf? What others of any kind are projected for the next few of your most rewarding efforts. Thank you for your most valuable time.

Dear Mr Cornwell,
Firstly , many many thanks for the hours of pleasure you have provided with me with all of your books. I am pleased to say my son Leonard is following me.
I thought your Arthurian trilogy brilliant and was captivated by Stonhenge , but living nearby to all of the events therein described no doubt has influenced my thoughts.
I have just finished reading the Starbuck Chronicles and had no idea that they were incomplete when I started. Argh, I would not have started them had I apprecated this had been on hold since 1996  !!!!
I have come onto this website to try and find out more and note your comments ref this matter given that you did not want to produce both a Sharpe and Starbuck each year.  Please, please  given a chance, finish it off ? You did say , "Starbuck will march again "
Many thanks again and kind regards,
Yours Sincerely
Tom Tippetts

Bernard,

I have read your series of Alfred. Great for me to read and yes maybe like most, put themselves into the book.So would you please finish the story for me. Alfred is dead, but his Son is king, But Uhtred is still alive and Bebbanburg is still not his, as uncle is still there, So would you please write the book to finish the story of Uhtred. Thank You, Again thank you for giving me the pleasure of reading.

Hi Bernard
Love your books!
Are you going to finish off Uhtred's story? Please don't leave us wondering!!!
Thanks
Charlie

 

Mr. Cornwell,
We are both big fans of yours-especially the Warrior Chronicles.   We just finished Death of Kings, and hope another will follow??  After reading some of the comment pages, I will look for 1356.   We really get absorbed by your stories.   Thank you.  Janet and Frank Cole

 

Dear Mr Cornwell,
I just want to ask that what you writing now? If it's not an naughty question...

Dear Mr Cornwell,

I'm struggling to write this without sounding sycophantic so I shall simply say you are my fave author. Was wondering what type of books do you read for pleasure... That's a assuming you do read for pleasure and not researching your next book.

First of all I'm a big fan and was just wondering if we could possibly see some more of Nick Hook as I am sure Azincourt would not have been his final battle and he was such a good character, one you felt you were stood next to not just reading about.

Thank you and keep up the good work

Paul Revere - you made him out to be a charlatan---was this artistic license, although, I note references in the end of the book, "the fort'

Having read all the previous adventures of Uhtred, I bought Death of Kings hoping you'd let the poor man go back to Bebbanberg and repatriate his castle. But, no. Is the poor guy sentenced to fight battles for his various"kings" forever? Please tell me you are going to put him out of his misery sooner rather than later. Love all your work BTW.

Dear Mr. Cornwell,

I just finished reading your last book (Death of Kings) in The Saxon Stories. As I read the last page. I thought that there has to be more to Lord Uhtred's story. Surely, he will conquer the usurper in Bebbanburg. Looking forward to your next book in the series, I hope!  A neighbor from Fall River,   Thanks.

Dear Bernard,

I am a great fan.Read everything you have written and kept them all as well.I am always the first in water stones when the next book is due.Whats coming next?

Hello Mr. Cornwell,

I love your books, especially the Saxon Stories.  I'm sure you have your plans set in stone for Finan, but I just wanted to let you know that I would be interested in Finan having his own series.  Even if it's just one book to tell his story.  I would love to see him lead a band of warriors back to Ireland to avenge his family.  Hopefully, I'm not the only one who would be willing to purchase and read Finan's Tale.

Thank you for your time and keep up the excellent work!

Mr. Cornwell,

I am new to your work and have begun with the Sharpe series.  After finishing "Sharpe's Tiger", I gleefully moved on to "Triumph" and have a quick geographical question for you.

Assaye is easy enough to find on a map, as is modern day Ahmednagar.  I've noticed you mention the massacre at Chasalgaon is fictional, but was it a real location?  Is it the modern day city of Chasal Najhi?  I put that at about three days march (with loaded wagons) from Ahmednagar.  That would be in line with "Triumph's" claim that it took Dodd three days to reach the city with the cartridges after the massacre.

However, this would put Chasalgaon anywhere from 450 to 500 miles from Seringapatam.  Sharpe was in Chasalgaon with six men from Seringapatam.  Did these men travel that incredibly huge distance to be present at the massacre, or am I mistaken in my geography?  Seems like a long way to send a sergeant, even one as capable as our man Sharpe.

Looking forward to more adventures with Sharpie,
Matt
