Dear Mr. Cornwell, I just finished THE PALE HORSEMAN. I didn’t think I would ever read a book better than THE LAST KINGDOM but THE PALE HORSEMAN was amazing. I was in despair at the end because I thoughs this was the end of Uhtred but then I read the historical notes. Today was like a second Christmas. I’m so glad you’re continuing the story. I would have died if the series ended with Kjartan still in power and Bebanburg under the control of Uhtred’s uncle. Thank you for your writing and please continue. I can’t wait until September. Sincerely, Brian Graham
