I am at present buying the complete series of your books on Sharpe (in chronological order). As an ex-serviceman I find them extraodinary in detail and that who ever reads them should find themselves in the midst of all the realism of that era. I have seen the TV series and my wife said I should have read the books first to draw my own vision of Sharpe, I don’t agree and find that having seen the TV and now reading your books, that are explicitly put together, I can relate to Sharpe and his ‘chosen men’. Thank you for your work and the continuous enjoyment you bring through your work. Chris Redford
