Many years ago I read the Starbuck books while on a rather long aircraft trial in Canada – 6 winter months . I still consider the Starbuck novels to be the most enjoyable of all your series (they are all good) At the time I contacted you and asked the obvious “When will the next one be produced”. Since you still do not seem to know yet when /if this will happen can I implore you to continue with Starbuck rather than Sharpe(for the time being at least). Ultimately however please just continue to write whatever takes your fancy since I enjoy all your novels, re-reading them regularly. Best Wishes Peter James
