I received these letters in July 2004, and thought you would enjoy them as much as I did ...

Dear Ken
Your writing is peerless. I first found 'Code to Zero' in a local pharmacy, and I haven't stopped reading you since. While I will buy other authors from time to time, your list of titles is always my favorite. Just when I think it won't get any better, I pick up the next title... 'Lie Down with Lions' was a show-stopper for me, then my wife brought me 'The Pillars of the Earth'. Yesterday for my birthday, she gave me 'Hornet Flight' and' The Man from St. Petersburg'. I can't wait to get started.

I work as a firefighter and have spare time at the end of each day which I fill with recreational reading. Your writings are most captivating to me, and I sincerely look forward to beginning the next title.

Dear Ken,
I would just like to say that being a female, I used to buy 'chick literature' but I found many of them unfulfilling. Then, I picked up the 'Pillars of the Earth'. And ever since, I think I have read almost every title that you have published.

I am now convincing many of my female friends to read your novels. The covers often give the impression that the book is a 'war/conflict story just for men. I'm sure he has cornered the female market but perhaps making the jackets a little more female friendly would get the girls reading.
I am currently reading 'Hornet Flight' and can't wait for your next work.

Dear Ken,
I have now finished your book 'A Dangerous Fortune' and I can tell, that I love the way you are writing.
My first book of you was 'The Pillars of the Earth' and I have also read 'Night over Water'. I don't now any other writer who has such a wide spead field of themes. I think I will surely read all of your books.

Dear Ken,

I really love all of your books. You are a very creative guy and I enjoyed 'Eye of the Needle', 'Lie Down with Lions', and now I am in the middle of 'Code to Zero'. Thanks for hours of enjoyment.

Dear Ken,

I am a boy from Navarra. I am 14 years old. Last year I read 'The Pillars of the Earth' and for me (and for a lot of people) it is the best book. When I was reading I thougth I was living in the Middle Age with Jack, Aliena, Tom and all of the characters. I am going to read other books like 'On Wings of Eagles'. Iook forward to a second part of "The Pillars of the Earth".
