I came to your novels quite late and do have to own up that the interest came through the tv programmes which I have recently seen again as my children bought me the box set of Sharpe. I became absolutely hooked and during my summer holidays have read every Sharpe book including Sharpe’s Fury. I think that I shall have to re red them in case I missed some of the detail in the excitement of the stories.I do so hope that you are considering another book in the series. I am sorry to have to tell you that despite reading your descriptions of Sharpe I still hear and see Sean Bean and Darragh in the roles. I would really like to see Sharpe’s Devil in film. They could change the storyline slightly to suit the age of the characters. The advantage it would have over India is that it would not be so hot and so the action could be quick and vibrant. There would not be so much dust to mask the actors. Whilst, as my 18 yr old daughter says, I could not commit Sharpe to fighting for ever, there is a part of me that can not accept that he hangs up his sword. I do not want him to age too much and I need him to keep on fighting. It is all too sad to think of a world without Sharpe and his commrades. He is important in his own world when fighting. People can appreciate his worth and despite the fact that some are horrid to him you know that right will out. When he gives up he will just disappear. I can not quite accept that he and Harper can lose contact when their friendship was so complete. So please make me a very happy woman and write another Sharpe story. Thanks. Ann Crawford
