Dear Mr. Cornwell, I have just completed reading the whole of the Sharpe series of books(WHAT AM I GOING TO DO NEXT)? Thank you for them you are a most outstanding author, thank you again. After finishing Waterloo I felt as though I must go there and see the battlefield, how do you write with such graphic detail? I was so taken with that book it made me think that you must have been there to write it, however impossible that sounds. I’ve just started Scoundrel but its the old stuff I like more. I just purchased Redcoat so that will be next. Thank you again from a person who only read very occasionally, to someone who has read all the Sharpe books since Christmas. “YOU ARE A FANTASTIC AUTHOR” Best wishes Jim Swatton.
