I picked up Lords of the North on vacation last month for some escapist reading and I was hooked on the story of Uhtred from the first page to the last. It was a great read. Later I was overjoyed to see that The Fight for London was on the bookshelf. I was thoroughly enthralled with the story and captivated by your writing. I couldn’t put I down. I seldom read fiction as I have an extensive American Civil War library but I now on the journey with Uhtred. A great story. Please forgive enthusiasm but your writing rivals Steven Pressfield’s as in Gates of Fire. I’m now looking forward to the next edition and proceeding to get those editions that preceded the Lords of the North. Hope this note finds you well. Sincerely, Mark E. Layng, Esq. ps: Fate is inexorable…
