Dear Bernard, I just wanted to thank you (as a million others have, I am sure) for the many, many hours of pleasure your books have given me. I picked up Azincourt last summer and loved it, moved on to the Saxon stories and loved them, and am now about to start Sharpe´s Company (after having sped through and loved all the preceding books in the series). As you can tell, I have been doing quite a bit of reading in recent months and basically cannot put anything you write down, even with a wife and a very busy job “on the side” ;-) No need to reply, just wanted to give you some positive feedback in the hope you will keep up the fantastic work. You are in my all time top 3 writers (together with Terry Pratchett and Iain Banks – in case you were wondering) and am sure you will stay there. Kind regards, James Craig
