I was reading Sharpe’s Trafalgar for the third time very much enjoying Captain Chase and Bosun Hopper. Now that the Napoleonic Wars are done, I was thinking you might have a great Sharpe story about Col.Sharpe (promoted), Commodore Chase (promoted), Harper, and Hopper on a mission for Lord Pumphrey far a sea. I can’t see how that kind of combination could fail to enthrall readers everywhere. And remember, Sharpe has one remaining enemy still alive. Get Captain Morris out of Ireland and send him along too because Sharpe probably dreams about getting even. Huh, and maybe Sweet William has forgiven Sharpe by now having married an Indian princess in America? Lots of laughs and adventure!
