Dear Bernard, I bought “The Winterking” about 11 years ago. Started reading it then but didn’t like it and stopped after 4 pages…. Big mistake. I “discovered” the book a few weeks ago while reorganizing my bookshelves and started reading. Just one word: Fantastic!! Loved it. Thanks for writing it. By the way, I bought the last Sharpe in 2006. Will there be more Sharpe books in the near future? Thanks again for writing “The Winterking”. Best, Pieter Lak The Netherlands
