Hi Mr Cornwell! Just to let you know that im just on page 364 of sharpes fury and just dont want to go on beacuase im near the end!!! I will have to read one page a day just to make it last! Thanks so much for this wonderful character and his adventures, it really is a fantastic escape from day to day grind. I really like general lepena’s character, just what i would expect from a spanish napoleonic general! And im hoping that Admiral de cardenas gets sorted by the end of the book, but he is a good character and if he doesn’t die might he pop up again to be a thorn in englands/sharpes side? I took your advvice about Jeromes Royal guard flag and it looks great, thanks for that too! from a very happy and hooked reader! Take care! Mark Campbell
