Dear Mr Cornwell,since picking up the first Sharpe novel and not being able to put it down I have hated the feeling I get when I have only a few pages to go.Knowing there was another Bernard Cornwell book to carry on with later ,allayed some of the dread feelings associated with finishing one of your masterpieces.Alas, that time has arrived when there are no more words to read.Cant wait for your new book.Thanks for the immense pleasure you have given me,Neil Morrison
