Dear Mr Cornwell, Thank you for The Warlord series, It was one of the best reads I have had since?….the Grail Quest series ! ha ha I have just finished The lords of the North and to me this has been your best series up to now, I am 50 and I was weened on Rosemary Sutcliffe, Henry Treece, Michael Moorcock, Alan Garner, Robert E.Howard, Alfred Duggan, Frans G. Bengtsson, The Viking Sagas, George Shipway, Graham Shelby and now Terry Pratchett, Jack Whyte, George RR Martin, Stephen Lawhead and David Gemmell. But I really love your style, as in all the plot twists you invent, your stories are fanatstic adventure tales. Also its been ages since I could say that, the last trilogy was a page turner and I could not put the books down. The last book had me in its grip from the 1st words, again thank you. My 18 year old son joined the Royal Australian Navy, last year and he already has had a few adventures, at Xmas time he came home and took me for a tattoo, and I chose a longship drawing from your map in the 1st book The Lost Kingdom, I altered it a bit,so more like the one off the stone carvings but I felt that my son was bit like Uhtred, a bit of a Dane !! and the tattoo my 1st is on my shoulder, it looks great! Best Wishes Ash in Tasmania. You should check out Mr George RR Martins website? where he responds to readers question about the next novel to come out and when? his reply was, that he had a life apart from being a writer and therefore the reader should get one also ? ha ha again thank you for your gift. a suggestion for a novel? 1685 and the Battle of Sedgemoor or that period, or maybe the Battle of the Boyne or The British Arny under William III with his Dutch against the French? just a suggestion ! ha ha
