Hi Mr. Cornwell.. not sure how I missed your books all these years, but I just wanted to tell you that I am making up for lost time… As a retired Army officer, you have sent me into what we call “the box” – a tactical problem that is nonstop.. only this box is one of reading pleasure. I have already referred you to many of my colleagues, but with the caveat..to beware, because there are 20 books in the Sharpe series! All the best and many thanks from an old infantry guy.
