Hi Mr Cornwell, I’m a massive Sharpe fan and especially like the period where Sharpe is in Portugal, circ Sharpe’s Enemy. I think the thing i love about this period was obviously the fact that we were defending Portugal from their French invaded neighbours and you described the locations vividly with the mountain-esque landscapes, the hot weather and the fact that most parts where they were/marching to, were almost deserted. The fact that Sharpe was a Captain around this period was facinating aswell. I know you have said you will only do 4-5 more Sharpe books… Please let one of them be set in that period of Portugal again/Sharpe’s Enemy. By the way I have every single 1st Edition Hardback of Sharpe all signed by the magical hand of your goodself. Thanks for the great storytelling and thanks for Richard Sharpe. Stuart Denton
