I have just finished reading the Starbuck Chronicles – I found them difficult to put down. Something rare for me. I would like to add my comment to the many who have mentioned it before, I think it is time – long overdue by the date of the books printed – for Nate Starbuck to make a return. It is time to enlighten readers like myself as to what happens next in the life of Starbuck. How does he get back at those who have done wrong to him?? How many more trials and tribulations he has to go through to survive another period in the Civil War?? Will old characters end and new ones begin?? After all there are still three more years to cover in the Civil War. As expected, I do have some ideas for the next chapter in Starbuck’s life but, as you stress I can not submit them for fear of copyright claims, etc. I understand. (I do not have a clue how to write a book, I leave that to authors like yourselves. All I have is the imaginary vision to bring the characters to life). It would be great to read Starbuck again in his next adventures. Who knows, maybe he could follow in the success you have had with Sharpe. Well, thank you for your time. Mark Payne…

Over a decade without a Starbuck? That is a shame to say the least. Jack Washburn

please write another Starbuck book!I’ve just finished the fourth one and would love to read another. It’s the kind of book you can’t put down once you’ve started, but hate to see the end of the book coming!Plus I think there’s one or two loose ends need tying up-how does Starbuck get his revenge on Falcouner?When will he get hold of Billy Blithe?Does Starbuck see the war out?Does he ever catch up with Gillsepe-his torturer?Will he marry Sally Truslow?So please hurry up and write a sequel or two!There’s Nothing more frustrating than finishing a book and realising you have months to wait for the sequel, like I did about three months ago after reading The Lords Of The North, never mind only another month or so to wait for the next sequel there!Thank you very much for writing so many entertaining and addictive books.
