Just read Sharpe's Escape so let me be the first to ask when is the next Sharpe and how many more do you think there will be? I think this is the best one so far. Kevin Harding
Just writing to say I finished reading Sharpe's Escape yesterday and thought it was great, can't wait for the next one, any idea where Sharpe will be travelling to next?? Simon
Hello Mr Cornwell: I just finished reading your latest "Sharpe" novel: "Sharpes Escape". Another very good novel of the Napoleonic Wars, and how Lt (Brevet Captain) Richard Sharpe contributed (in so many ways) to the eventual victory of His Majesty's Forces. I like the way you place Mr Sharpe in all of these battles (along with Wellington, whose life he saved in India) starting with the combats in India and ending at Waterloo, with Trafalger tossed in for good measure. Only "suggestion" I have is (maybe) add some background to the American Mayor Leroy. Yours is one of the few "British" war story series that has an "Jonathan" expat (not of his families choosing, as noted in this book) fighting in the British Army. A really good story, lots of action, another "Femme Fatale" (Sarah Fry) and the ever present (and loyal) Sgt Pat Harper. Where do they march off to next? And when? SAM
