Mr.Cornwell, I started reading the Sharpe series last December and can’t put them down! I’m currently reading “Sharpe’s Sword”. I’m reading them in chronological order. I’ve always been an avid reader and student of Military History…especially British Napoleonic History. Having been a former Army Officer (Armored Cavalry),I never like fictional history. I started reading Simon Scarrow’s “Macro and Cato”series several years ago and got hooked. I had a copy of”Sharpe’s Company” but never got around to reading it. Once I started”Sharpe’s Tiger”, I wished I had started reading them years ago. Coming from a former soldier, you have captured the smallest details of everyday soldiering perfect. Your historical research is terrific! I love the series and look forward to more. A New Fan, Robert Griffin
