Dear Mr. Cornwell, I just finished “Lords of the North,” which I found to be very enjoyable and up to your usual high standards. I have read the entire Sharpe, Starbuck, Warlord, Grail and Saxon series, as well as most of your individual novels, and have derived unmeasurable pleasure from each of them. I was therefore delighted to see that Uhtred will carry Serpentbreath in future novels as well. I look forward to them with relish. Best regards, Glenn Trost, Altadena, California
