Dear Mr Cornwell, Over the last year I have discovered your books which I have been reading too quickly for my liking (I can’t find them very cheaply in Australia, and when I read them in 5-6 hours its an expensive hobby!). I have loved the Sharpe novels which I have been reading as well as Stonehenge, Starbuck, The Uhtred Stories and some others. Please write more Starbuck novels (I would like to know where Lucifer learned to fire cannon!). Is there going to be another book between Trafalgar and Prey? Because the gap between the two is quite abrupt?

Also what would you think of writing a book (or 2) on the ill-fated Sepoy Rebellion of 1857? It would be outside Sharpe’s jurisdiction but I think it could make a good story. Thankyou for your time, Angus Somerville, 14
