The previous books of yours that i’ve read were always verry satisfactory, but your newest book was a disappointment to me. I almost began another story, but then I decided to find out if Sharpe would survive his head wound. That was a non-event, however. But, like the rest of us I guess Sharpe is getting old. Inasmuch as none of my stories will be published any time soon, I hope you keep trying. Regards Barclay T.
