I have just read “Sharpe’s Eagle -I have tried to read your books in chronological order.In the preface you state that it was the first Sharpe book that you wrote and hesitated to look at it again and find poor writing. I thought that interweaving the battle scenes (often rather protracted and frequent in later books) with the Sir Henry, Gibbons and Perry opposition, made it the most enjoyable of the 7 books I have read.
