Hi, g’day from the land of Oz. I’ve read the 4 Starbuck books and am holding onto life in the hope of a further book to tie up loose ends, particularly to see Blythe cop his much deserved dues. Any chance of that before I shuffle off this mortal coil?

Hello. My son and I have enjoyed together every Sharpe book, each of the Uhtred books, Agincourt, The Fort, and have recently completed all four of the Starbuck Chronicles. In all, we have bought 41 different stories, many of them in more than once; including print, kindle, and audiobook editions. We also own the box set for Sharpe’s TV series, even though we do not yet own a player capable of playing it!

Starbuck is by far your best work. I am writing to encourage you to please, pretty please, write more Starbuck books. As fun as it would be to have more Sharpe, all that we really want to know can be learned from Patrick Lassan; and Uhtred is a little long in the tooth for more war glory. But Starbuck is fresh and just hitting his stride.

We are waiting with bated breath to know how you will tell the story of Marye’s Heights, the long hot road to Gettysburg, and then introduce us to Ullyses S. Grant. Stories your readers already know, but want to hear your telling. Please write more Starbuck soon!
