I started reading The Saxon Tales while I was deployed as a combat soldier in Baghdad, Iraq. It was a hard covered edition of The Last Kingdom that had I found in the Morale Welfare and Recreation room for soldiers. Today, it’s been a year and a half since I’ve been back from Iraq, and I just finished reading Lords Of The North. I love the character, Uhtred of Bebbanburg. I’ve always enjoyed historical fiction, and your book was a great escape for me between missions, from my time in combat. I’m thankful to be able to enjoy your work today, as a civilian. Great job!
