Dear Mr. Cornwell,

When is your next novel coming out and what is it about? I know that this is not the last in the saga, and I would very much like to have a hint about what may happen to Uhtred in the future. He is such a character that I can relate to and that is understandable to any normal person. He is not extraordinary in his physical layout, and he is in no way terribly intelligent. Instead, he is a tall, built man that is very realistic that posses and intelligence that is better than most other warriors'.

Another thing that I would like to mention is how you made the places in the novel very realistic. The towns that were larger are generally still here, and their descriptions are very realistic in that small towns didn't have great stone palaces and large cities actually possessed a massive number of huts. You keep everything throughout your novel possible, so that although it is fiction, any part of it could be possible.

Finally, a last point that I would like to make is how you so masterly incorporated ships into the novel. Few other novels include both land and sea battles, and certainly not to this caliber. You are so amazing at describing battle scenes that I often feel as if I am part of the fighting. I especially love the part in which Ahmed jumps off the gate roof and slices Siegfried in the gut. You are a truly amazing and impressively creative author.
